The rigorous nature of the beautiful game makes it almost impossible for players to avoid bookings. These days, players get unnecessarily booked for performing crazy acts like simulation and time wasting. However, this can be attributed to the emotional nature of the game where players perform ridiculous acts to gain maximum points. The game has seen its fair share of crazy acts. These are individuals who despite all odds, perform crazily and getting booked unnecessarily. The likes of Gennaro Gattuso, Pepe, Zinedine Zidane, Pepe and Mario Balotelli all have tales to tell on how ridiculous attitudes can get one sent off. It may also surprise you to know that some players have played the beautiful game (excellently), and won laurels without earning red cards! Socceramebo today, introduces you to 4 soccer players who never received red cards in their professional careers.
1. Ryan Giggs
What a great way to start this list with unarguably, the most decorated player in Britain. Ryan Giggs made over 600 appearances for Manchester United in the Premier League for 24 years without getting a red card! Imagine playing through a tensed Premier League atmosphere with passionate fans, desperate defenders, tensed situations and most times, annoying referees without getting sent off (not even once). The Premier League is known for its physicality, and it requires an amazing personality to play through it without getting red carded.

2. Damien Duff
Damien Duff spent 18 years in the English Premier League, but 14 of these years were spent with “lower clubs”. Known for his workaholic nature, Duff performed his duties judiciously without getting red carded throughout his stay in the league. It is common practice for wingers to get frustrated by tough tackling especially in the tough atmosphere of the Premier League, but Duff stood his ground and left the scene with a clean record.
3.

Raul
Raul was undoubtedly a talent in his prime who could turn a game around in his favor out of nothing. Few strikers in the game will boast of his predatory instincts, and fewer others will also boast of his disciplinary records. Raul amassed over 550 appearances for Real Madrid including tensed El Classico fixtures, Champions League and Copa del Rey ties without getting red carded. His time at Schalke also produced tensed moments, but he was never red carded. This further cements the assertion that the former Real Madrid record goal scorer is not only an attacking predator, but also a symbol of humility and discipline.
4.

Philipp Lahm
It takes a great measure of discipline for a defender (and sometimes, a defensive midfielder) to play over 25, 000 minutes of professional football without getting red carded. The 32-year old who scored the opening goal at the 2006 FIFA World Cup started his professional career at Bayern’s B team, and has grown into a reliable player. His technical ability has continuously been hailed by his managers and players alike which make him perfect across several positions including defensive midfield. If he endeavors to keep this record, Lahm will be remembered as one of the most technical, intelligent and disciplined defenders ever to play the beautiful game.

Wonderful post.
