You're obviously not a fan.
7 yellow cards in 43 games isn't a bad tally, so either 36 referees were completely unaware of his fouling, or they saw it as part and parcel of a contact sport.
His one red card was debatable, although I can accept to the letter of the law it was red.
You remembered correctly, and it was out of all Championship players. He was significantly ahead too!
I put this down to having a forward's ability to tackle. Not much wrong with his defensive headers.
