Rio Ferdinand is proud of his disciplinary record.
Ferdinand hasn't been booked since March 2009.
He told Inside United: "I think it’s down to the way I time my tackles. I never go out there to foul anybody – not that any player does; I just try to win the ball as cleanly as I can. There’s probably an element of luck in there as well, and some referees have probably been a little lenient when I could have been booked.
"There’s no big secret, though. The aim is to always win the ball cleanly and if you do that then you won’t be penalised. I haven’t always had a great disciplinary record. When I was a kid I got sent off for fighting when I was playing for my school team! In the classroom I wasn’t too bad – although I was a bit cheeky and talked a lot."
