James Milner enters the history of the Premier League.

At 40 years old, the Brighton rock hasn't finished defying time.

Coming on against Aston Villa this Wednesday (Matchday 26), Milner played his 653rd Premier League match, joining Gareth Barry at the top of the list of the most capped players in the history of the league.

An astonishing number for a player who discovered the Premier League on November 10, 2002, 8,494 days ago.

Since then, the versatile English midfielder has continued to progress, season after season, under the colors of Leeds, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool, and now Brighton.

Discipline, longevity, professionalism: James Milner is more than a player. An institution.
