James Tarkowski Sets Premier League Record: Most Yellow Cards Without a Red

James Tarkowski has set a new Premier League record for the most yellow cards without receiving a red, marking a significant milestone in his career.

Everton's James Tarkowski has etched his name into Premier League history by achieving the most yellow cards without ever receiving a red. On Saturday, during a 1-1 draw against Arsenal at Goodison Park, Tarkowski received his 64th Premier League booking, setting a new record.

Record-Breaking Achievement

Tarkowski, 32, was cautioned for a foul on Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly. This booking came just days after he received a yellow card for a foul on Alexis Mac Allister in a match against Liverpool. Although the Premier League's refereeing body later admitted he should have been dismissed in that game, Tarkowski's record remains intact.

Career Overview

With 301 Premier League appearances and only one red card in his entire career—a straight red while playing for Brentford in the Championship—Tarkowski's discipline is noteworthy. This season alone, he has six bookings, surpassing other notable players like Oriol Romeu and Luke Young on the list of most Premier League bookings without a red card.

Premier League's Most Booked Players

Tarkowski's record has sparked curiosity about who holds the most yellow cards in Premier League history. Can you name the top 11 players with the most bookings? Some names might be obvious, while others could surprise you.
