Fastest yellow card: 3 seconds, Vinnie Jones (Chelsea v Sheffield United, 1992) Is this actually possible

Yes it's possible. Sheff Utd kicked off and Vinnie Jones rushed in to make an immediate challenge (on Dane Whitehouse) and set a world record for the fastest ever yellow card.

I'm not sure about the 13 second red card mentioned above. Presumably it's meant to be an English record, as I'm sure it's not the world record, which I think is 10 seconds.

This is only since the Premier League began, as Vinnie Jones got 12 red cards and even that isn't the English record, which is 13.

Sorry as admin has pointed out, maybe I can't be arsed to actually read through the thread with a detailed eye, Duncan Ferguson's 8 red cards are a joke. Big Dunc, the most honest player you'll ever meet. Never touched anyone. When I say he never touched anyone I am not of course referring to the fierce and immediate judgement he handed out to the burglars.

Duncan Ferguson misunderstood on the football field. A hero in the community.

Great response to the thread lads!Interesting stuff
