8. Luke Young If you are a full back, you are always vulnerable to being penalized for your tackles. But Luke Young isn’t one of them. Even though he spent most of his career with teams who were fighting to avoid relegation, Young was always one feet away from a Red Card. 57 Likes 1 Share |

7. Ledley King A defender to go his whole career without being sent off is quite a rarity and must surely require a cool head as well as luck to have never been shown a red card. One mistimed challenge or one cheeky elbow can easily put them in the ref’s bad books. 100 Likes 11 Shares |

3. Gary Lineker Apart from Walkers crisps adverts, Gary Lineker almost helped the lions clinch a second world cup back in Italia ’90. Playing alongside Paul Gascoigne he must have had his hands full with keeping his team mates in line as well as keeping focused on the game. 59 Likes 5 Shares |

Alessandro Del Piero Alessandro Del Piero had an amazing career that lasted more than two decades from 1991 to 2014, and culminated in being part of the world cup winning squad in Germany 2006. His quick pace and amazing skill were his clean tackles and cool head which meant that he didn’t pick up one single red card. 200 Likes 12 Shares |

This guys were not exceptionally talented..... The goal of football is to ensure that goals are scored. Red card or not, a player should play an entertaining football. 1 Like |
