James Milner Sets Record in Premier League

James Milner has made history by starting his record 23rd season in the Premier League with Brighton, surpassing Ryan Giggs' previous record of 22 seasons. At 38 years old, Milner is notably seven years older than Brighton's manager, Fabian Hurzeler. His 636th appearance in the league brings him closer to Gareth Barry's all-time record of 653 appearances. Milner's career, which began in 2002 with Leeds, includes significant contributions at clubs such as Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester City, and Liverpool. His longevity and fitness are remarkable, and he is expected to play a vital leadership role for Brighton this season. With few players likely to match his achievement, Milner's record may stand for a considerable time.
