Ode to James Milner - Farewell to a Premier League Legend
By Steven Northover
Former Liverpool midfielder and record-breaking Premier League appearances holder James Milner announced his retirement from professional football last week, ending a storied 24-year career.
The Leeds-born midfielder, who has won almost everything you can win in the league game, joined Liverpool in the Summer of 2015, and would arguably become The Reds' best free transfer - and almost immediately became an important part of a faltering Liverpool squad under, by then, beleaguered Brendan Rodgers.
