John Terry is not known for his diving and on this evidence it’s easy to understand why.
The Chelsea centre-back, who has not featured for his club since the 2-2 draw with West Ham in March due to an achilles problem, posted a short video on social media on Saturday of himself taking a dip in the sea off the Dorset coast.

The 35-year-old travelled with the rest of the Blues squad to Bournemouth prior to the Premier League encounter with the Cherries but will not play a part at the Vitality Stadium.
