Liverpool midfielder James Milner has revealed he was offered a trial at Everton aged 10 before he was brutally ghosted by the Blues - just months before signing for boyhood club Leeds United.
With a career spanning over 20 years, Milner has an affirmed status as one of the finest and most dedicated professionals of his generation and has won multiple Premier League titles with Manchester City and Liverpool, and the Champions League since moving to Anfield in 2015.
In addition to his impressive trophy haul, the midfielder has made over 600 Premier League appearances for five clubs including Leeds United, Newcastle, Manchester City, Aston Villa and the Reds. However, the 36-year-old's career could have panned out differently had it not been for a spell of bad weather in the winter of 1996.
