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.

He didn't have much time to play in his career
Injury prone

John Charles of Leeds and Juventus was never cautioned or sent off throughout his entire career. And no, he wasn't one unknown, he's regarded as one of the greatest British footballers ever.

Red/Yellow card was introduced in 1970. He was already past his prime and rather inactive when cards were introduced therefore your assertion is debatable.In contemporary times, Gary Linekar holds the record(no red/yellow card)

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.

Gary Lineker was never booked... Even a yellow card

2. Edwin Van Der Saar

The former Holland goalkeeper has been a player with much higher credentials and was one of the best Dutch Players who graced English Premier League. And when he was saving goals and winning matches for Old Trafford side, his discipline was exceptional. He playing more than 27000 minutes for Manchester United, and didn’t received a single red card in that time.

a fantastic goalkeeper.
he made goalkeeping an art, a spectacle of class during his time.

[quote author=Chrismario post=51840760] Football is known as a game of passion, desire, friendship and fair play. However, there are some players who play it differently and gets punished or banned for shoving the opposition players.

However, some saint Players exists as well who always play within the rules and make history. Sadly for some, Lionel Messi is not in the list as the Argentine Footballer has received 1 Red Card during his playing time.

So, here are our 8 Players who never received a red card in their entire footballing career.

Not there entire career but club level. Ryan Giggs received red card while playing for wale. His country.

5. Raul. Gonzalez

The legendary Spanish forward is also one of the cleanest. With a career that spanned numerous World Cup appearances as well as playing for both Atletico and Real Madrid he never once got sent to the shower room early. This is quite an achievement within the realms of competitive football.
