James Milner breaks Premier League appearance record with 654th game
James Milner set a new record for the most appearances in the Premier League on Saturday, making his 654th top-flight appearance during Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.’s away match at Brentford F.C..
Before the game, Milner had been level with former England international Gareth Barry on 653 appearances. Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler selected the 40-year-old veteran to start in midfield.
Milner made his Premier League debut as a 16-year-old with Leeds United F.C. in 2002 and has since played for Newcastle United F.C., Aston Villa F.C., Manchester City F.C., and Liverpool F.C. across a career spanning more than 20 years.
Having signed a one-year contract extension with Brighton in June, Milner has featured in 15 league matches for the south-coast club this season.
