Dean has given more reds to Manchester City and Chelsea players than any other club,with nine having been dished out to both sides in his 19 years of officiating.Newcastle are second on his disciplinary hit-list with seven, followed by Arsenal on six and Tottenham, West Brom and Stoke all level on five.
