‘I just wanted it more’ – Ex-Chelsea and Bolton star Gary Cahill posts hilarious video of him diving head first to win sack race at school sports day

School sports days can be hugely competitive events… especially when one of the dads is a professional footballer.

Ex-Chelsea and Bolton star Gary Cahill showed just the lengths he would go to to have bragging rights over his fellow parents at the school gates.

The defender posted a clip on social media of him taking part in a sack race at his children’s school sports day.

He captioned the video: “I just wanted it more.” And he’s not wrong.

The footage shows Cahill neck and neck with another parent as they approached the finish line, only for him to dive face first to grab the victory.

Needless to say the video went viral on Twitter and has been viewed nearly two million times.

The 36-year-old was perhaps putting himself in the shop window to clubs as he is currently searching for a new team.
