Walsall honoured with League One award
Walsall today landed the League One FA Respect & Fair Play Award for the 2013-14 season.
The Saddlers join Liverpool, Burnley and Exeter City as the other divisional winners of this award, which recognises sportsmanship.
Receiving just 36 yellow cards in league games last season and five red cards, Walsall also committed the fewest fouls – 368.
The FA's Respect Programme continues to go from strength-to-strength at all levels of the game, with last season's disciplinary figures showing more improvement across England.
Cautions for dissent were down by 20 per cent and misconduct was reduced by a further 10 per cent at all steps of affiliated football, right through the Premier League, Football League, FA National Game System and County FA leagues.
As well as awards for Premier League clubs Liverpool and Burnley, there will be a number of winners from across the game recognised in the Respect and Fair Play Awards ceremony.
That takes place at Wembley Stadium, before the FA Community Shield between champions Manchester City and cup winners Arsenal next month.
