Corky said:He is famous for never getting booked, he got an award for it and a cheque in the early 90s.
You would not have been asking otherwise would you?

The award was the FIFA fair play award in 1990.

he also told me there was somebody else who i can't remember with a long career as well who nearly went all the way through with no booking but got booked in the last game.
i could be chatting shit but thats what ive been told.

The England team won that award and it was presented before the 3rd place play-off lloss to Italy in Italia 1990. I 'm not sure that he got another award in about 1992 or 1994 when he retired from England or Footy all together.

No idea what award he won with money. Still just responding to the fact you said the England team won the award(not gary himself), while technically they did win a world cup fair play award, Gary won the fifa fair play award himself. (that is awarded yearly), so yea crap.
Link was above.
