Some of the worst play-actors in football caught on camer. Telegraph

Here are some of the pettiest scuffles and biggest over-reactions in football. Just when you thought they couldn't get any worse...

Since when did these footballers become so pathetic?

1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

He is the king of play-acting and is always flat out on the floor with some kind of "injury"...

2. Kyle Lafferty (Norwich City)

This must be one of the most dramatic falls of all time, which resulted in Aberdeen's Charlie Mulgrew being sent off in 2009. Lafferty was later fined by his own club for his over-reaction.

3. Gregory Arnolin (FC Goa)

His incredibly slow reaction and major over-reaction to head brush with Atletico de Kolkata's Baljit Sahni, is just ridiculous.

4. Adryan Oliveira Tavares (FC Nantes)

Back in 2014, when playing for Leeds, Adryan made plenty of enemies after this dramatical roll, which resulted in Jonny Russel receiving a yellow card.

5. Andrea Johansson (IFK Norrköping)

We have absolutely no idea what Johansson was thinking here in a match against Allmänna Idrottsklubben. Maybe the pressure of being marked by opponent Mohamed Bangura was just too much for him.
