James Milner is now tied in second with Ryan Giggs on the Premier League all-time appearances list after featuring in Brighton's encounter against West Ham United on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.
Milner has spent over two decades in the top flight of English league football, playing in every campaign since the 2002/03 season.
James Milner made his debut on November 10, 2002, playing in a 4-2 victory for Terry Venables Leeds United over West Ham United.
The Englishman was aged 16 years, 10 months and 6 days, and he has won 3 Premier League titles so far in his career.
He won 2 with Manchester City, while Milner last claimed the league crown as captain in the 2019/20 season with Liverpool.
Gareth Barry currently leads the Premier League all-time appearances list, featuring in 653 matches, 21 more than James Milner and Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs.
Milner is a former teammate of Gareth Barry, as the pair both played at Manchester City during the early 2010s.
Speaking on clocking 632 Premier League appearances, James Milner expressed confidently that he has the desire to play in more matches, which could see him break and set a new record.
Milner said: “It is a big number and I am still loving it. Working at this club under this manager and players every day and hopefully, I have a few more in me yet.”
The 37-year-old joined Brighton in the summer of 2023 on a free transfer and his current deal at the club expires at the end of the season.
However, there is the option for a further 12 months, which would be beneficial to him potentially breaking the record.
James Milner has won almost every trophy available at club level in his career, except the UEFA Europa League title.
Milner has won several trophies including; 3 Premier League titles, 1 UEFA Champions League, and 1 FIFA Club World Cup.
He has made 18 appearances this term, scoring no goal and providing 2 assists in all competitions.
Cumulatively, James Milner has made 874 club appearances, scoring 85 goals and providing 138 assists in all competitions.
The versatile player has played for many clubs in English football, including; Leeds United, Newcastle United, Manchester City, and Swindon Town.
Internationally, Milner made 61 appearances for the Three Lions of England, scoring 1 goal and providing 6 assists.
The 37-year-old is truly a special player, who has had a magnificent career, and the topping could just be ending his career with the most Premier League appearances.
Meanwhile, Brighton kept their first league clean sheet of the season on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, as they prevented West Ham United from scoring all through the 90 minutes.
The Seagulls will be mightily relieved to have finally recorded a clean sheet in the league this term, and they return to action on Saturday, January 6, 2024, facing Stoke City in an FA Cup 3rd Round fixture.
