Liverpool veteran James Milner opens up on teetotal stance ahead of career milestone

James Milner has opened up on his decision to remain teetotal during the entirety of his professional career.

The Liverpool star has entered his 20th year playing at a senior level, having made his debut for Leeds United back in 2002. While he will not feature this weekend, the next time Milner does play, he will be making his 600th appearance in the Premier League.

Only three players have made more appearances in the top-flight since its inception in 1992. Gareth Barry, Ryan Giggs and Frank Lampard are the only men to break the 600 appearances barrier, a club Milner will likely soon be joining.
