A player so consistent and under-the-radar he inspired a parody “Boring James Milner” Twitter account, the Liverpool stalwart is, for once, sporting a new look.
Ever since making his debut as a precocious 16-year-old, Milner has remained a model of minimalism - with his only changes in appearance coming in when he moved clubs. In fact, a look at Milner in the white of Leeds United or the claret and blue of Aston Villa, you could be forgiven for wondering if his 20-year playing career has aged him a day.
Still at the top of European football with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, Milner is showing no signs of slowing down, still living up to his nickname of ‘The Machine’ during gruelling pre-season tests.
