The highly successful forward has built a reputation for outwitting opposing defenses throughout his career, yet accusations have arisen regarding his occasional bending of the rules in pursuit of success. He’s not alone in this, as the Daily Mail’s ‘It’s All Kicking Off’ podcast recently compiled a list of the top five players alleged to be masters of simulation.
Ian Ladyman curated the list, with former Tottenham star Jurgen Klinsmann ranked fifth. Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary figure of Manchester United and Real Madrid, occupied the fourth position, while current Inter Miami striker Luis Suarez claimed third. Former Barcelona and Brazil playmaker Rivaldo was placed second, with Everton veteran Ashley Young topping the list.
Former England and Blackburn Rovers forward Chris Sutton disagreed with the list, notably calling out the omission of two players. He criticized the exclusion of Bruno Fernandes, labeling him as one of the worst divers. However, Sutton reserved his strongest criticism for Harry Kane, whom he branded as the most egregious diver by far. Despite Kane’s stature as England captain, Sutton accused him of consistently diving and escaping punishment. Sutton characterized Kane as a serial diver, expressing disbelief at the leniency afforded to him despite his prolific goal-scoring abilities.
Kane is currently plying his trade at Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich, where he is determined to end the club’s lengthy drought for major trophies. While 2024 may not see him clinch such honors, he continues to demonstrate his prowess by surpassing the 30-goal mark once again. Additionally, he anticipates another opportunity to vie for European Championship glory with England in the upcoming summer.
