And yet another defender on the list. The Athletic Club and Celta Vigo man was prematurely shown his way to the tunnel 15 times during his playing career.
Juanito Rodríguez
A journey man footballer who fouled consistently wherever he went, collecting a total of 17 red cards during his spells with Las Palmas, Zaragoza, Atlético, Sevilla and Mérida.
Sergio Ramos
Real Madrid's current captain is not the type to do things by halves, as his 18 red cards indicate.

The legendary Real Zaragoza captain's bite was worse than his bark. 18 red cards.
Pablo Alfaro
Alfaro turned out for Zaragoza, Barcelona, Racing, Atlético and Mérida, but is best known for his time with Sevilla. He was sent off 18 times.
