Help me out with some football history

[cucumberman]

This is in relation to the Boyata sending off. Some questions:

1. What's the quickest straight red card in PL history and also League history?

2. What's the quickest straight red for City ever?

3. Can someone list several instances when straight reds were brandished in the first 5 minutes of play? If possible how did the score pan out?

Thanks lads.

Not sure if it was before the inception of the PL, but didn't Vincent Jones once get sent off within a minute, possibly, (if my mind remembers correctly), for a lunge on Peter Reid?

Kevin Pressman for Sheff Wed after 13 Seconds was the fastest Red Card i believe

Vinnie Jones was quickest Booking

The Score in the Wednesday game was 1-1.And the referee was our very good friend and City legend Mark Halsey

Sun Jihai was sent off for China while he was on the subs bench.

Sun Jihai was sent off for China while he was on the subs bench.

How did he manage that?!

Sun Jihai was sent off for China while he was on the subs bench.

How did he manage that?!

I remember this, wasn't he fuming or something and completely lost the plot. Loved Sun Jihai.

Fastest red card: 13 seconds, Kevin Pressman (Sheffield Wednesday v Wolverhampton Wanderers, 12 August 2000)

Chippenham Town striker David Pratt was red carded in 3seconds which is a world record.
