Adam Lallana is adamant the running joke of "boring James Milner" couldn't be further from the truth as the Liverpool midfielder closes in on a landmark 600th Premier League appearance.
Veteran midfielder Milner could reach the major milestone if he features against Tottenham Hotspur on on Sunday, becoming just the fourth player to do so alongside Frank Lampard, Ryan Giggs and Gareth Barry. The 36-year-old has remained at the top-level of English football for two decades, making his debut as a 16-year-old at boyhood club Leeds United in 2002 before stints at Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Manchester City and then Liverpool.
The former England international has spent the longest period of his career with the Reds, making over 300 appearances across all competitions. Milner, Liverpool's vice-captain, has emerged as a dressing room leader at Anfield, sharing his vast experience with the younger core and acting as a link between players and coaching staff.
