5 players who have never been given a red card

#5 Gary Lineker

England's second highest goal scorer, while being known for his goal scoring exploits, is also known for defecating in his pants during a World Cup match. Grander accomplishments aside, he's also known for being cut from the purest cloth, for being a saint among saints, in that, he's never been booked in his career. No yellow cards, no red cards. Zero. Nada.

If you aren't already acquainted with this fact, you'll need to read it again. Most of you will dismiss it as a joke, before googling and inevitably finding out. I highly suggest you google and confirm. Lineker was one of the most sought after strikers of his time. He played for some big teams in Barcelona, Everton, Leicester and Tottenham Hotspur.

It is easy to dismiss this by saying he did it in the 70's and 80's but know that, that era was a more physical era and there were lesser rules protecting players back then. How he managed to possess the calm and patience to go through 466 matches without picking a booking is anyone's guess, but its certainly a mighty good achievement.
