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.
