Former Celtic star in hysterics as footballer performs the worst dive of all time

Posted Tuesday, August 04, 2015 by Dailystar.co.uk

YOU won't see a more laughable dive in football this year – or even ever.

A Swedish footballer has probably performed the worst dive of all time.

Yep, worse than Rivaldo's infamous attempt in the World Cup 2002 and miles ahead of Jurgen Klinsmann's theatricals in the 1990 World Cup final.

Andreas Johansson's simulation at the weekend was so shocking it even got a laugh out of the player who he tried to get sent off.

Johansson's ridiculous dive – one Brit olympian Tom Daley would be proud of – happened during Norkopping's clash with AIK.

LAUGHABLE: Andreas Johansson falls to the floor in an attempt to send off Mohamed Bangura

GOOD TRY: Bangura, right, can't believe it as Johansson is "writhing" in pain on the pitch

Mohamed Bangura, who Johansson tried to feign injury from, put his right arm up to catch the attention of a teammate only for his opponent to lightly brush his face onto his elbow.

Swedish defender Johansson went down holding his face and rolled around the pitch as if he had been assaulted with a knock-out elbow.

No action was taken against former Celtic man Bangura.

And Johansson managed to get back on to his feet – but with his ego slightly bruised.
