However, there are those players that fans love to hate for the fact that they are ill-disciplined.

Football League World has found out which footballer was the dirtiest player in the last 10 years in the Championship, based on yellow and red cards

Andy Yiadom would be the least disciplined player in the Championship in the 2022/23 season while playing for Reading, as he received 14 yellows throughout the campaign.

Yiadom was unable to help Reading survive, as the Royals were relegated to League One, particularly due to the heavy cloud over the club around financial problems.

Yiadom joined Reading in July 2018 and became the club’s captain in July 2022.

While at Barnsley, he received his first call-up for Ghana, a nation he represented at the 2017 and 2021 African Cup of Nations.

Middlesbrough failed to gain promotion to the Premier League this season, with the multiple suspensions of key midfielder Matt Crooks not helping the club achieve their ambitions. Despite the suspensions, Crooks featured 40 times in the Championship, scoring a total of 10 goals.

Crooks received 16 yellows and one red in the campaign. This was an impressive feat for the player to achieve in his first season with the club, having joined Middlesbrough from Rotherham United.

The Norwegian international received 12 yellows and a single red in the 2020/21 campaign while on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion at Coventry City.

Leo Østigård received his red card in a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers, as he picked up two yellow cards in that game. His time at the club through the season ensured the Sky Blues maintained their Championship status for another season.

Østigård is currently applying his footballing career in Italy, with Napoli having joined in the summer of 2022, helping the club lift their first Serie A since Maradona captained the side to victory in 1990.

Lewis Travis has played his entire senior career at Blackburn Rovers, but he has managed to pick up an unwanted record during the 2019/20 season as he was deemed the dirtiest player in the Championship that season.

Travis was appointed club captain in July 2022 as Darragh Lenihan left the club to join Middlesbrough.

During that season, where Travis would receive the greatest number of cards in the Championship, he played a pivotal role for Blackburn in the campaign, as he featured 43 times in the division.

The Preston North End midfielder received two red cards and 14 yellows in the 2018/19 season. Ben Pearson had an interview in July 2019 following the season to discuss his disciplinary issues on the pitch, with the midfielder announcing that this has halted his mother’s interest in watching his matches.

The club had an average season that campaign, as the Deepdale faithful witnessed their club finish 14th in the Championship and get knocked out of the League Cup and FA Cup at the Third-Round stage in each competition.
