Sunderland’s Younes Kaboul is arguably the dirtiest player in Premier League history.
The former Spurs captain was given his marching orders for the sixth time in his Premier League career as the Black Cats lost to Bournemouth
Kaboul is still two red cards behind the league’s notorious leaders – Richard Dunne, Patrick Vieira and Duncan Ferguson.
However, research by The Daily Mirror has found that Kaboul is now the league’s most ill-disciplined player.
The Frenchman has only played 154 league games so gets flashed a red card once in every 25.7 outings.
That puts him ahead of John Hartson [25.8], Vinnie Jones [26.3] and Frank Leboeuf [28.8].
Also high up on the ‘games per red cards’ list are Ferguson [33.6], Lee Cattermole [33.9], Nemanja Vidic [35.2] and Vieira [38.4].
Roy Keane saw red on seven occasions in his league career but is ratio was only one per 52 games.
