Where does the player who represented England at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups rank on the list of all-time Premier League greats?
“Milner’s name never really is mentioned as one of the greats, but he is, without a doubt,” says Richards.
Former Leeds and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who played the night Milner made his debut at West Ham in 2002, said his former team-mate had dedicated his life to remain at the top level.
“It’s everything you do, it’s how you walk around at home, it’s what shoes you wear, it’s how you sleep, it’s what pillows you sleep on, it’s what you eat, it’s what you put in your body,” says Robinson.
“And for him to have evolved the way that the game’s evolved as well, it’s huge credit to himself as a person, not just a footballer, but as a person.”
Will Milner carry on playing when his contract expires in the summer? Having turned 40 in January, he treats every game as though it could be his last.
He still remembers a conversation with veteran Leeds goalkeeper Nigel Martyn soon after breaking into the first team 24 years ago.
“He told me, ‘Enjoy it while you can because it goes so fast’. I said, ‘Leave it out, Nige, I’m 16!’
“And here we are in the blink of an eye – and I’m where he was.”
