The 10 Premier League players with the most red cards with Arsenal and Manchester United rivals battling it out

6. John Hartson

Clubs: Arsenal, Coventry City, West Ham United, Wimbledon.

Matches: 155.

Red cards: Six.

Strikers generally don’t get too involved with tough tackles but bruiser Hartson wasn’t like ordinary forwards.

5. Roy Keane

Clubs: Manchester United, Nottingham Forest.

Matches: 364.

Red cards: Seven.

Although recognised as one of the league’s greatest players, Keane was also not afraid to get tough and stepped over the mark on occasions.
