The 15 players with most Premier League red cards ever - top three are no shock

There are some players who loved a red card during their career - but who has the most?

Some players knew how to handle their emotions; others less so. There have been plenty of players in Premier League history who pick up more red cards than others. But who are those players? From the clumsy operators who always seemed to be at the scene of the crime, to the hotheads who were unable to keep a lid on things.

Express Sport have gone through the archives and dug out the 15 players who picked up the most red cards in Premier League history...
