There\u2019s a small list of players who\u2019ve never been sent off in their careers, but who makes it?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve picked out the top ten players who\u2019ve never been issued with a red card.<\/p>\n

Raul<\/h2>\n

Teams played for:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Real Madrid, Schalke, al-Sadd, New York Cosmos, Spain<\/p>\n

In his seventeen senior campaigns, which included 932 club games, two Champions League triumphs and six Spanish titles, Raul never managed to pick up a red card.<\/p>\n

Gary Lineker<\/h2>\n

Teams played for:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Leicester, Everton, Barcelona, Tottenham, Nagoya Grampus Eight, England<\/p>\n

Gary Lineker went one step further then never seeing a red card. In fact, he was never even awarded a yellow! He scored a total of 281 goals in 567 matches.<\/p>\n

Andres Iniesta<\/h2>\n

Teams played for:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Barcelona, Spain<\/p>\n

Iniesta has made over 750 appearances for the finest club and international side of his generation without receiving a red card.<\/p>\n

Karim Benzema<\/h2>\n

Teams played for:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lyon, Real Madrid, France<\/p>\n

Benzema has had plenty of off-field problems, but he\u2019s been very well behaved on it. He\u2019s played 649 matches without being sent off.<\/p>\n

Joao Moutinho<\/h2>\n

Teams played for:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Monaco, Portugal<\/p>\n

The 30-year old has always had an impressive disciplinary record. He\u2019s now made it 663 professional games without seeing red.<\/p>\n

Michel Platini<\/h2>\n

Teams played for:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nancy, Saint-Etienne, Juventus, France<\/p>\n

Platini played 655 games for both club and country without seeing red. He thinks that the modern-day player is less likely to get a red than those that played in his era.<\/p>\n

Gaetano Scirea<\/h2>\n

Teams played for:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Atalanta, Juventus, Italy<\/p>\n

Scirea was one of the most elegant players both on and off the field. The 1982 World Cup winner never saw red in his 16 professional seasons.<\/p>\n

Damien Duff<\/h2>\n

Teams played for:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Blackburn, Chelsea, Newcastle, Fulham, Melbourne City, Shamrock Rovers, Republic of Ireland<\/p>\n

Although injuries caught up with him in the latter stages of his career, Duff still never saw red, despite making over 700 appearances over the course of 19 years.<\/p>\n

Aaron Hughes<\/h2>\n

Teams played for:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Newcastle, Aston Villa, Fulham, QPR, Brighton, Melbourne City, Kerala Blasters, Hearts, Northern Ireland<\/p>\n

Hughes still plays and has amassed over 450 Premier League appearances and 103 caps for Northern Ireland without being sent off.<\/p>\n

Marco Bode<\/h2>\n

Teams played for:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Werder Bremen, Germany<\/p>\n

The now-chairman of Werder Bremen spent his entire playing career at the same club without picking up a red. In his 529 matches, he was booked just 13 times.<\/p>\n
