Football is a game where players display their passion and talents. In the course of playing, some players get carried away and get penalized for unruly behaviours. In the game, we have players like Pepe and Joey Barton who loses their cool every now and then. Amongst the players are some “SAINT” Players who stick to the rules and make history. Lionel Messi would have been on this list but has received 1 Red Card during his playing time. Below are the top 10 Players who never received a red card in their entire footballing career.


1 Edwin Van Der Sar

Edwin Van Der Sar was one of the best Dutch Players who graced English Premier League. He is a Goal-Keeper with much higher credentials. He has saved goals and won matches for the Red Devils, his discipline was exceptional. He played more than 27000 minutes for Manchester United, and didn’t received a single red card in that time.

2- Shay Given

Shay Given is one Irish Goalie who was decent enough to save himself from getting evicted of a football match. He holds the record of playing for more than 39000 minutes without a single Red Card.

3 Luke Young

Luke Young is one player who has escaped been penalized. If you are a full back, you are always vulnerable to being penalized for your tackles. He spent most of his time in the football career with teams who were fighting to avoid relegation, Young was always one feet away from a Red Card.

4- Sir Stanley Mathews – (1932 – 1965)

Sir Stanley Mathews spent the majority of his career with Stoke City, he holds the honour of being the only footballers to have been knighted during his professional playing career.

He was still playing in the top division when he was 50! Sir Stan was also the first ever player to win the European Footballer of the Year award as well as the Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year award in the same year.

5 – Phillip Lahm

Phillip Lahm is currently the best right back in this entire world. He is that historical figure whose tackles and lunges never got him into trouble. When there are defenders who have created history of getting red cards, this lifelong Bayern Munich player is yet to receive a Red Card in his playing time.

6- Raul Gonzalez

Raul played for Real Madrid, against Barcelona, in an El Clasico, where victory is everything and no one remembers the loser, some players can cross every limit to succeed when stake is so high. But Raul Gonzales isn’t one of them. When his desire and ability to score goals on consistent basis was unmatched, Raul was decent enough to avoid Referee’s notebook at all cost. Even after playing in so many big matches like El Classico, UEFA Champions League Final and Copa Del Rey Finale, Raul never received a single Red Card in all those times.

7- Ryan Giggs
Ryan participated in every Premier League campaign from 1990 to 2014, Ryan Giggs is one of the most successful players in the English Premier League era. And even though his looks were a bit tough and nervy, but Ryan Giggs is another player who hasn’t received a Red Card in his entire career.

8- Damien Duff

Damien is a good Midfielders, Damien Duff is a veteran in this particular field. Even though he spent most of his career playing for physical teams like Blackburn and Fulham, but Duff was never ejected from the field. He displayed professionalism in the field and his discipline was even better. So after spending 18 long years in top flight, he has never received a red card.

9 – Xavi

Xavi is one of the best midfielders of our generation. Apart from his ability to score goals and create unbelievable passes to his team mates, Xavi is yet to receive a single Red Card in his illustrious career. He is a professional who doesn’t get into trouble with the referee.

10- Gary Lineker

Gary Lineker is one of the all-time great English Footballers, this legendary Striker has this unique record of not been booked for once during his entire career. Let alone Red Cards, the current Match of the Day Broadcaster for BBC didn’t even received a single yellow card in his 15 year long career. So he is a perfect role model for Young Players who aspire to play this beautiful game while staying within the rules.
