Diving is on the increase - Hughes

Blackburn boss Mark Hughes has admitted the diving culture is far more prevalent now than it was in his playing days.

Hughes is no stranger to the storm of controversy currently surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo’s antics at Middlesbrough on Saturday, having angered Montpellier during a European Cup Winners’ Cup tie in 1991 when he fell to the floor from an apparent headbutt by Pascal Ballis when, in fact, there had been no contact.
