    I hesitate to say "cleanest player ever" as in 50 years plus of watching football I've probably forgotten a few!

    However our own Chris Solly loves a tackle yet gets very few bookings in an age when referees are rather more card happy than in earlier eras.

    Dave Mackay the old Spurs player was meant to be hard as nails, but only ever booked a couple of times. (The Billy Bremner "round the scruff of the neck" incident being one)

    Southgate is a pretty good role model for a modern footballer

    Ledley King. He's only got one knee, he's better than John Terry, oh Ledley Ledley. 8 yellows 0 reds in his career.

    That has to be about a yellow a match doesn't it? ;)

    agreed ... but in those days if you kicked the centre forwards' head off and over the bar, the referee just might have a cautionary word.
