James Milner awarded MBE as Liverpool star recognised for services to football and charity

Liverpool midfielder James Milner has been awarded an MBE in the Queen's Jubilee Year honours list.

The Reds' vice-captain has been given the title for his services to football and charity, having run his own foundation since 2011 on the back of a playing career that has spanned 20 years.

Milner made his professional debut aged just 16 years and 309 days in 2002, which made him the second youngest in Premier League history at the time and he has gone on to make 588 top-flight appearances, which is the fourth highest in the division's 30-year existence.
