The Champions League's Biggest Bad Boys by baski92(m): 8:10am On Dec 09, 2014
John Terry : (18 yellow cards) – No surprises that Chelsea’s captain makes it into this list, but John Terry’s 18 bookings is a drop in the ocean compared to some other Champions League
sinners.
Patrick vieira's : (18 yellow cards) – Patrick Vieira’s enforcer style didn't endear him to referees, and inevitably led to the French World Cup-winner regularly having his name taken.
Edgar David's : (18 yellow cards) – You don’t become known as ‘The Pitbull’ by being nice. Edgar Davids' bark and bite incited conflict, and his four Champions League red cards is itself a record.
Dani Alves : (19 yellow cards) - The picture says a thousand words. Winger on the ground, defender pleading and referee
punishing. Dani Alves has been involved in a few of these.
Roberto Carlos : (19 yellow cards) - Roberto Carlos scored his fair share of free kicks, and he also gave plenty away.
Patrice Evra : (19 yellow cards) - Patrice Evra was never slow into the tackle and as a result has often been quick into the book.
Alessandro Nesta : (19 yellow cards) – Alessandro Nesta looks resigned to his fate as one of his 19 Champions League yellow cards gets issued.
Michael Ballack : (19 yellow cards) – Michael Ballack receives a caution for questioning some of Tom Henning Ovrebo’s decisions in the 2009 Champions League semi-final second leg between Chelsea and Barcelona.
Massimo Ambrosini : (20 yellow cards) – Massimo Ambrosini was the midfield muscle in Milan's 2003 and 2007 Champions League-winning sides, and such roles are rarely blemish free.
Jorge Costa : (20 yellow cards) – Jorge Costa was Jose Mourinho’s on field commander when Porto won the Champions League in 2004. Here he sizes up Marseille’s Didier Drogba.
Martin demichelis : (20 yellow cards) – Martin Demichelis has played Champions League football for three different clubs and trouble seems to have followed him around.
Andre Ooijer : (20 yellow cards) – Andre Ooijer only ever made 37 Champions League appearances, but that didn’t stop him
racking up 20 bookings.
David albelda's (20 yellow cards) – David Albelda’s commitment to the Valencia cause came with the consequences of a lengthy charge sheet.
Mark van Bommel's : (22 yellow cards) – Mark van Bommel’s relationship with officials was not always so cordial. The Dutchman picked up 22 Champions League yellow cards and two reds whilst playing for PSV, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Milan.
Luis Figo's : (23 yellow cards) – Luis Figo’s brilliance brought some rough justice, but the Portuguese winger also dished it out.
Walter Samuel : (23 yellow cards) – Coming from a long stock of no- nonsense Argentine defenders, Walter Samuel left a string of victims throughout his Champions League career.
Alessio Tacchinardi (23 yellow cards) – Alessio Tacchinardi played in a successful Juventus side who mixed fire and flair, with the Italian midfielder usually responsible for the former.
Sergio Ramos's : (23 yellow cards) – Sergio Ramos’s colourful disciplinary record resulted in the Real Madrid man so far collecting 23 yellows and three reds during an eventful Champions League career.
Carles puyol : (25 yellow cards) – Carles Puyol has made well over 100 Champions League appearances and won the competition three times, so regular brushes with the law are to be expected.
Xabi Alonso : (26 yellow cards) – Xabi Alonso isn’t known for being one of football’s hatchet man, but a total of 26 yellow cards portrays another side to the Spaniard’s good guy image.
Gennaro gattuso : (28 yellow cards) - No stranger to some of the games darker arts, Gennaro Gattuso cements a second-place finish with a total of 28 bookings.
Paul scholes's (32 yellow cards) – Paul Scholes’s inability to tackle became a running joke throughout his career, but it was no laughing matter for those he left his mark on. The Manchester United midfielder’s 32 yellow cards and two reds puts him top of our
bad boys gallery.
