We never have to wait too long to hear about yet another football player who has been found guilty of breaching the FA’s betting rules.

It seems a relatively straightforward concept to simply avoid punting on the sport while you’re a professional player, while the same applies to passing other people information that might aid them for a particular betting market.

However, football players notoriously have plenty of available time away from the training pitch and they often end up placing large bets which get flagged up by the best betting apps in question, with an investigation then undertaken to keep the image of the sport clean.

In this article, we look at 11 football players who have been found guilty of either placing bets or breaching the rules in some shape or form.

1. Daniel Sturridge

2. Joey Barton

3. Scott Kashket

4. Wayne Shaw

5. Andros Townsend

6. Matt Le Tissier

7. Martin Demichelis

8. Cameron Jerome

9. Dan Gosling

10. Jordan Stevens
