Meet Adryan. He's a Brazilian attacking midfielder who plays for Leeds United on loan from Flamengo. This happened over the weekend in a Championship match against Derby County. He now has arguably the greatest fake injury on record. Generally, when players are accused of 'flopping like a fish', people mean, like, in the water. Not like they're on the end of a fishing line.

If you’re a Football Manager or FIFA game player, you probably signed him two years ago when he was thought to be one of the best prospects in world football. If he ever became a world beater for your video game side and you were wondering what happened to him, we’re glad to have made your day.
