As im aware there are many players that have never been cautioned... John Charles, Gary Lineker ,Tommy Lawton , Tom Finney, Johnny Carey , the wizard, John Sewell being 7 more off the top of my head...

Possibbly kempes... Definately was never booked in his NT career
What about Wolves player Billy Wright?

Nowadays it's pretty much impossible to go booking-free thoughout a career. Does anybody know any current players to not recieve yellow or red, besides those with only a couple appearances?

There is this famous picture for Kempes celebrating his third goal (i think) agains Holland in WC 78 and his socks were all torn up!! You gotta respect a guy not getting booked after being roughed up like that.

    Not being picky, but why was that aimed at me, I never made the claim... I jus pointed out that many players had gone through their careers without getting booked... Nevr mentioned whether the statement was true or not.

    As for it making him less of a player / man... of course not, why would it have any bearing on him as a player / man ??

    Scirea was the best libero in the history of football, the most important and charismatic player in juves history and along with zico my favourite player of all time...

    One of a handful of guys that made me love football... The experience of watching scirea from the stands was one of the most amazing things you could ever witness in football, an absolute artist

    Paul, do you know where you can buy old tapes of some of Gaetano's greatest matches and moments?
    I know lots of shops in italy, but i take it you mean online ?

    Tracks used to do them... not sure if they still do

    I aimed it at you because I meant it as a question. As for second chapter, just stating the obvious.

    Scirea's CV talks for himself, 14 trophies won is something amazing. My favourite of all time along with Conte.
