Cyril Rool (born April 15, 1975 in Pertuis , Département Vaucluse ) is a former French football player . In the more than 80-year history of Ligue 1 , he is the player who was most frequently expelled from the field during his career that lasted until 2010.

The club career

Cyril Rool, a rather lanky defensive midfielder , started at a small club from Aix-en-Provence playing football and in 1993 - although he was not in a football boarding school of professional clubs ( Center de Formation had been trained) - the Corsican second division SC Bastia under Contract taken. A year later he was for the first time in their eleven, which had been promoted to the top division, and was then part of the regular formation. In his 27 games this season, he was cautioned 17 times and sent off twice. As in the following years, he hardly ever received these personal punishments for a particularly brutal style of play, but mostly for unsportsmanlike conduct (hitting the ball, objecting to referee's decisions, etc.) or playing fouls. The impulsive southern French paid for his great will to win and his combative nature, which made him very popular with his own followers, but quickly made him known negatively with the referees . Rool himself admits that he is aware that the sending offs in particular also harm his team (after every fourth yellow card there is also a game ban), but: "When I play, I don't think about it" .

In 1998 he moved to RC Lens , for which he also tied his football boots for five years - interrupted by a season at Olympique Marseille , which however already loaned him to AS Monaco after two months - without the cooler northern French climate affecting his temperament the place and the regular sanctions would have changed. With Lens he managed to win the league cup in 1999. He completed the 2004/05 season in the navy blue dress of Girondins Bordeaux , where, in addition to the notorious number of yellow and red cards, he also scored his first league goal. In 2005 he returned to the Mediterranean coast , where he has since played for OGC Nice . The 2005/06 season was (after 1996/97 and 2000/01) only the third in his thirteen-year professional career so far, in which he was never relegated from the field. In the 2006/07 season he has already received ten warnings after the first 20 match days, so he has already had to sit out twice; in the cup he saw red again in January 2007 after an elbow bump and was suspended for five games, which also affects league games in France. And on matchday 30 of Ligue 1, he was sent off the field for the 20th time in his career due to a yellow-red card. In the 2007/08 season, his coach Frédéric Antonetti appointed him one of the OGC's equal team captains. On the 5th matchday of the 2008/09 season he received another red card, this time for a foul in the penalty area, about which the referee subsequently admitted that he had better not trusted his linesman.

Towards the end of his career, Rool played at Nice and Marseille, where he made a second attempt in 2009, also on the left side of the back four. In addition to winning the league cup with Lens and the role of the “card king of the league”, Cyril Rool was involved in two other title wins late when Olympique Marseille added the league cup and national championship to his trophy collection in 2010. The coaches of the Equipe tricolore never made use of his fighting skills. In total, Rool had 25 red and 187 yellow cards in his career.
