The "cleanest" player you've seen

Jackson

For a person who has not followed football for long, the post below about the dirtiest player was an eye opener to say the least.
Who are 3/4 of those people?
Anyway, let's get more positive......I want to know the player you would sign in a heartbeat to this club? And I'm not talking
about who is the most prolific goalscorer, who is the best for assists, who can defend great, who can save 1000 goals a game.
I'm talking about leadership qualities, I'm talking about the player who is not a human headline. The player who is not the greatest
of all time but who puts in 100% at training, on the field etc.
If I were to lead the discussion, if I was asked to pick, I would go for Ryan Giggs in a second.
But I'm sure there are others.....over to you guys.

Ryan Giggs is a dirty b*******

Almonds

Didn't Ryan Giggs have an affair with his brothers wife ?

uncle

Sir Trevor Brooking

Jackson

Oops didn't know all that about Ryan Giggs!

Man_About_Town

Beckham.

up_the_valley

Kinsella...what a great footballer he was! Also a 24 year old Johnnie Jackson.

Ormiston_Addick

Des Walker, for a centre half he was very clean, very few bad tackles.

I always admired Michael Laudrup for his clean play, no diving, no unfair tackles, always fairplay, quiet demeanor on the field, but my god did he let his game do the talking, one of the top assistmakers ever.

Clarence Seedorf and Zinedine Zidane come to mind as well (even though I'm aware of the headbutt)

queensland_addick

Keithie Peacock. a gentleman on the pitch and off.

It was all over the news for a couple of months a couple of years back

CharltonKerry

Gary Lineker or for the oldies Bobby Moore

BlackForestReds

Gary Lineker - never booked or sent off in a match, but then he never tackled anyone.

Absurdistan

Chris Powell

Riscardo

Matt Holland was 40 before he got his first booking

buckshee

If we're talking about his shorts then defo Holland , he never ever got his dirty.

McBobbin

I refuse to believe Paul scholes was dirty. Just godawful at tackling

AllHailTheHen

Scholes is a real nasty little sh*t. He knows exactly what he is doing but got away with it for years. Two footer on Rommedahl a few years ago he got away with. He deserves to have ginger hair.

Paul Mortimer for his sublime slight tackles.

Red Fraggle

Claus Jensen. Didn't they all go out to celebrate once he'd finally been booked?

RedPanda

Baggio, Maldini and Seedorf are all classy human beings.

easiest question in the quiz. answer keith peacock, not only the cleanest, but a class act too.

Kinsella and Holland from my experience as a CAFC fan. Lineker and Brooking otherwise.

Scholes! Filthy little animal. He drew blood from a guys leg against Sweden, and that wasn't even what he got sent off for!

Captain White Shorts gets my vote!
