We loved having James on the podcast! This episode was such an amazing insight into leadership, resilience and hard work! Let us know your favourite moment from the episode 👇
@@chipperjaunte yeah , i had a few going through my head for players that have not made it but when he said he is doing great now i am certain its curtis , if curtis combines his talent with millie mentality and professionalism then what a player he will become
Didnt think much of him as a player when he was at City but boy did he do the number 7 shirt proud when he came to Liverpool. Legend. Every football squad needs a James Milner.
@@Thailandfc24 maybe because he wasn’t a player that always stole the limelight, you don’t notice when they play for other clubs because you’re not watching them and only get to appreciate them when you see what they really bring Typical simple City fan
@@Hamez4 typical gobshite that only looks at LiveScore and plays fifa Milner has been a top player from day 1 - made his debut 1 week after Rooney and broke the record for youngest player in the league at the time
Probably the most professional footballer ever. An absolute premier league legend and the ultimate role model for any young player. I can't wait to see what he does when he retires, but his fitness is so good he could probably play till he's 40.
This man won everywhere he went, legendary squad player. You see, people who aren't always first on a team sheet should learn from this guy. "Keep your head down." Do the job, you may not be the best, but you get to play your part with the right attitude and a career, with accolades onto of it.
As a life long LFC fan, I can say that Milner will stay for ever in our mind, What a man, what player always carry him self with the right mindset, what a rolle model.🥇
As a Chelsea lifelong fan of 60 years I have followed and admired the career of James hoping he might come to Chelsea. He is a true legend and Ihope he takes his vast experience into management when he finally retires. What a fantastic proffessional!!
I am rehabbing from a hip replacement. This video is inspiring me to work hard to make a 100% recovery. What a great man. Such discipline in how he lives his life. Wish he had joined Man Utd. They have needed him for years. John McGinn strikes me as a similar pro. Well done JM on a great career.
When he was at Villa I really wanted him to come to Liverpool. Then he was at City and I thought if we could get anyone it should be Milner. He helped Liverpool become what we are now. Really miss him. I hope he comes back as a coach or manager some day. YNWA Millie.

"I am renting a shirt there". Every footballer must be ingrained with these words. You're renting a shirt there and you have to add respect and responsibility to that shirt. What a professional Milley is. A Legend of the game.
Loved Milly at City.. incredible player, kept himself so physically fit. Did so much work for the team off the ball that those watching on TV would not see, guted when he left. Felt he was hard done to by City.
There’s only one James Milner..one James Milner. What a lad..what a man..what a player you was for us.. Absolute pleasure watching u through the years.. As a Red been a pleasure Milly an absolute f**in pleasure.
Milly will go down as one of our best ever signings, and when you add to that we got him on a free, sensational. Love milly and wish him the very best in life
What a great player and personality to have at your club. He’ll always get a legends reception every time he comes to Anfield, the fans loved him. I did t want him to go, but I can understand why he did, he would t have got much game time but he would’ve been great in this Liverpool dressing room. And when he finishes playing I want him back at Liverpool in some capacity like a coach learning under Klopp
This guy is a legend. And honestly should be a role model for most players because most arent insanely talented like ronaldo or messi. But this guy has won everything.
When he played for city he was my favourite player. The ultimate professional. Im one of the fans that felt bitter about him leaving. Id read that he'd made a few comments on the club after leaving but it's nice to hear this interview and his thoughts on that. I think ultimately we were gutted we lost such a top player to a big rival as he says. One of those players that you only realise just how good he is when he plays for you. Exceptional work rate and ability.
Top professional. Any young player seeing this should take every word he says and listen to it very closely if you have any ambition in the game. You'll go through hard periods, you'll be doubted, but it's about how you take that and use it to your advantage.
James Milner made his premier league debut in November 2002 before LeBron James was drafted into the NBA in June 2003. And Milner is younger. Kudos to Milner for playing at the highest level so many years.
A true leader and a professional everyone can look up to. What a person and footballer he is, great lad through and through. We are truly lucky to have him in a Liverpool shirt for 8 years. YNWA
This guy really is just the ultimate legend, such a tremendous attitude. Years older than the likes of Henderson and Fabinho but still here, still trying to show what a good player he is when he could have sold out years ago.
If I'm United fans, I would recommended this video to the whole squad including the manager to watch, so the players will how/what to do and to be sacrificed to played on top level football and the manager will at least understand the player's POV and handle it with care. Bcuz even if you're not a football fans, there's still get a huge value to be learn for achieving our goal in life. Love to hear your truthful experiences Milly. You always our legend. And I'm sure you will be a great coach when you decided to do so one day.
Brilliant professional. Was so surprised Liverpool signed him I won't lie. But was a great signing. Helped us to champions of league Europe and many more trophy 🏆
Great player. I remember when mine was at Newcastle. A grafter who always put 100 percent in. Didn’t question anything just got on with it. Played upfront, RM, CM, LM, RB,LB put him anywhere he would put a shift in for you. We had players like Craig Bellamy and Kieron Dyer who got Bobby Robson sacked because they pissed and moaned about being playing out of position the odd game. If everyone was like James Milner the world would be a better place.
Hey guys, love your work and i regularly watch most episodes. I must admit i was looking forward to much more insights on Milner’s physical and recovery routines as he is widely known for being the fittest even late into his thirties but none of the questions really approached these topics . Will keep watching, and looking forward to upcoming episodes!
I remember Milly at City and how hard he worked hoping he would wear a Reds shirt someday. He came over and he's been such a stalwart of the club. Brighton are all for the better having him in their squad now and i can't believe he's been playing 21 years.
I always rated milner at villa i didnt expect to see his career to hit the heights it did but boy what a player and im an arsenal fan we could of done with him a few years ago
Wonderful interview! James Milner is even more of the personality I found him to be. Definitely! Definitely, an amazing talent physically, mentally, and psychologically! Perseverance and discipline for days!!!👌🏾⚽️⚽️⚽️❤️
36:02 I am a man city fan who is still a huge James Milner fan - top class and I was/am devastated he left! I almost considered being a Liverpool fan after he left 😂
Milners a Legend, people probably forget he played a season and half at lb when we needed a good player in that position, he could play almost any position at a very good level!
I think some times the lads think high performance is just those people who prepare unbelievably well and who leave no stone unturned - if you do all that and don’t perform, that’s not high performance. It’s about performing at a high level consistently in competition - regardless of how you prepare.
An amazing player and an example for all sports people. Wished he was with the Toon a couple of years earlier under Wor Bob. He always gave everything and so glad for him, he deserves every part of success he achieved.
I am a Chelsea fan, and when Milner started playing for City, I used to use the name Kevin Milner on Facebook because of him. Very humble, no ego, worked hard, my favourite player (behind Lampard)
We loved having James on the podcast! This episode was such an amazing insight into leadership, resilience and hard work!
Let us know your favourite moment from the episode 👇
Can we please get rasford in after this season especially if ten haag gets the sack it would be pretty intresting to see what he has to say
My fave moment is where he spoke about helping the young lads out at liverpool
I think its curtis jones for some reason
@@chipperjaunte yeah , i had a few going through my head for players that have not made it but when he said he is doing great now i am certain its curtis , if curtis combines his talent with millie mentality and professionalism then what a player he will become
@@garymckeon5410 yea i think there's even a video where curtits credits him and Stevie G
@@chipperjaunte well stevie g always raved about curtis when he was doing that youth team so that would make sense mate
Didnt think much of him as a player when he was at City but boy did he do the number 7 shirt proud when he came to Liverpool. Legend. Every football squad needs a James Milner.
Idiot, he was great at city
He was brilliant at city what lol city fans know hugely underrated for them big game player at his pomp
Typical liverpool fan Everyone is great when they play for you’s

My uncle John was the scout that found James , one of my late uncle’s proudest achievements.
To scout a legend a player like Milner..I can only imagine how legend of a man ur Uncle was.
Any proof in this?
@@Tricky181 do I need to prove it , it’s the truth
With your name yes
Clearly made up looking for likes
Ultimate professional. Thank you for playing for Liverpool.
Liverpool legend ...Brighton are lucky to have this guy in there squad
Regardless of football, the world, now more than ever needs more James Milners. What a great attitude

Legend
The best free transfer we ever had! A proper man and a massively underrated player! YNWA absolute LEGEND!!
I think Matip edges it for best free transfer
@@domak1645I've always been Joel but for character and impact on the dressing room it's Millie for me. And his versatility.
Milner is exactly the player to be captain and play centre midfield for Derby county.
"I am renting a shirt there". Every footballer must be ingrained with these words. You're renting a shirt there and you have to add respect and responsibility to that shirt. What a professional Milley is. A Legend of the game.
I look at that as a negative, you lower your self worth. You should be walking in owning the shirt, feeling you have a right to it.
Millie knew, what a top lad always put in a shift for us YNWA lads.
@@jimbojimbo6873 People with low self-esteem will certainly relate to this!
Loved Milly at City.. incredible player, kept himself so physically fit. Did so much work for the team off the ball that those watching on TV would not see, guted when he left. Felt he was hard done to by City.
He defines professionalism. What a player!
Defo talking about Curtis 😂 and rightly so its done the trick. Great servant. YNWA
or elliot
Elliot didn't come through academy,from Fulham,so probs Curtis.
Yeah I was thinking curtis as well 😂
Exactly, even Curtis admitted he wasn't doing things the right way.
Curtis is crap though 😂
There’s only one James Milner..one James Milner. What a lad..what a man..what a player you was for us.. Absolute pleasure watching u through the years.. As a Red been a pleasure Milly an absolute f**in pleasure.
Milly will go down as one of our best ever signings, and when you add to that we got him on a free, sensational. Love milly and wish him the very best in life

Self Discipline!!! 100% respect to James, Legend YNWA
Gutted Milner never finished his career with Liverpool. Great leader for us and a brilliant servant. He was great for all the clubs he played for.
Same. I already miss seeing him in the 7 red shirt
I have huge respect for Milly, hope he goes into management. The game needs people like him.
Great podcast. A must show to any young person who is looking to achieve their potential in life.
a true gentleman, great footballer, great professional, won it all! not one club his played for wont say his not given 100%…. prem legend !
Loved him at Villa. Ashley Young, Gareth Barry, James Milner, and Stewart Downing was a classic mid 4
What a wonderful interview! Milly is a Liverpool Legend. Liverpool fans will never forget how much he gave for us.
James Milner made his premier league debut in November 2002 before LeBron James was drafted into the NBA in June 2003. And Milner is younger. Kudos to Milner for playing at the highest level so many years.
Finally the high performer shows up! Machine
A true leader and a professional everyone can look up to. What a person and footballer he is, great lad through and through. We are truly lucky to have him in a Liverpool shirt for 8 years. YNWA
The kind of player who glues a team together.
This guy really is just the ultimate legend, such a tremendous attitude. Years older than the likes of Henderson and Fabinho but still here, still trying to show what a good player he is when he could have sold out years ago.
This is a true professional. You had a team full of players like this guy. Nothing would stop you winning.

Love to hear your truthful experiences Milly.
You always our legend.
And I'm sure you will be a great coach when you decided to do so one day.
England have always under appreciated hard working and quiet players like Milner. Carrick is another example.
Brilliant professional. Was so surprised Liverpool signed him I won't lie. But was a great signing. Helped us to champions of league Europe and many more trophy 🏆
Gotta say, i miss Milner! His versatility, leadership and professionalism was unpaired. Liverpool legend in my eyes ❤
For a man who has reached the top of his trade, James is an excellent example of hard work paying off.
Loved the Firmino story of having to get a tennis ball into a foam roller to avoid a fine🤣🤣🤣54:17
Love this guy so much. Hoping he breaks the record for most appearances in the EPL
Top professional and seems like a deep thinker about the game, I can see him being a top manager in a few years.
Highly professional and underrated
You were fantastic for Liverpool Milner. Thanks for the great football and memories 🏆
What a pro and what a player. As a Newcastle fan, I was gutted when he left and was as confused as he was as to why he couldn’t get in the team
Juan Milnero, what a legend. Miss him at Anfield! Very intelligent man, fantastic work ethic and great player. An all round good guy!
What a top class professional. Absolute legend.
Milner is a true professional. Young lads in the game would learn an invaluable amount listening to this. What a guy.
One of my favorite players of all time. (Liverpool fan)
Great player. I remember when mine was at Newcastle. A grafter who always put 100 percent in. Didn’t question anything just got on with it.

I love jame honesty as Tottenham hotspurs I alway admire him . He is a proper professional . Thank you so much for interview . Well done guys .
I miss him so much the best professional ever he is what most people think Henderson is
If more English footballers had James Milner's attitude, England would be a more successful team.
Hey guys, love your work and i regularly watch most episodes.

James Milner Liverpool legend mate literally won everything as player
Undoubtedly a Premier League legend! Cheers for bringing us this insightful conversation lads!
I always rated milner at villa i didnt expect to see his career to hit the heights it did but boy what a player and im an arsenal fan we could of done with him a few years ago
What about Ribena being the secret of his incredible stamina? 😆😆
he's such a MACHINE
Milly soo underrated still imo
Nice to see you here!
Great Milly podcast! What a legend. Love the fact he joined Liverpool and put in a lot of good shifts, YNWA James.
Love this lad. What a freaking legend. Thank you Millie for everything you've done for the Reds! #YNWA
This is deeply inspiring! Thank You!
Milner has put his all into everything, on and off the pitch, very elite mindset, brilliant Career, people respect him ..
Well Done 👏
I got shivers when he spoke about the Barcelona game, I want to re-watch it all now
total respect for this man... top pro
Wonderful interview!
James Milner is even more of the personality I found him to be.
Definitely! Definitely, an amazing talent physically, mentally, and psychologically!
Perseverance and discipline for days!!!👌🏾⚽️⚽️⚽️❤️
I love this guy, such a pro. Great human being. YNWA MILLI
Liverpool fans are incredibly appreciative to this man
The definition of professional!
Great interview Gents and Millie a true Gent and an ultimate professional.
YNWA
The definition of ‘high performance’ is literally this man. Top bloke. Well done chaps 👍🏻 Great Pod
12:53 , i think hes refering to Curtis Jones right??
or Harvey..
James is a role model.
36:02 I am a man city fan who is still a huge James Milner fan - top class and I was/am devastated he left! I almost considered being a Liverpool fan after he left 😂
Don't leave any crumbs, never sit in the comfy chair, if you enjoy winning you won't win.
Love James Milner, he made Leeds proud 👏
Great podcast, what a true professional
Great content, big thanks for your insight
Liverpool 4 V 0 Barcelona : Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Milner, Shaqiri, Mane, Origi.
It's ironic that Man Utd's players could probably benefit from emulating someone who played for Leeds, Newcastle, Man City & Liverpool
I was literally thinking the same we could do with a few players with the mentality of a James Milner in our dressing room
Really enjoyable listen.
I would say he would make a great manager! Sound fella and understands absolutely everything about the game.
Milners a Legend, people probably forget he played a season and half at lb when we needed a good player in that position, he could play almost any position at a very good level!
During his 'purple' days with the Reds, I often used to wonder if there were actually two 'Milly's' on the park, he put in such a shift!
I think some times the lads think high performance is just those people who prepare unbelievably well and who leave no stone unturned - if you do all that and don’t perform, that’s not high performance. It’s about performing at a high level consistently in competition - regardless of how you prepare.
Loved this, young players at Liverpool need to follow in his footsteps!😍😍😍
Oh my goddddddd!!!!! A new high performance podcast I love you guys!!!!!!!
Thanks for everything Milner 😁
He's going to be a great manager and will win the premier league as a coach too.
An amazing player and an example for all sports people. Wished he was with the Toon a couple of years earlier under Wor Bob. He always gave everything and so glad for him, he deserves every part of success he achieved.
One of my favourite Liverpool players, the effort, professionalism and shithousery was next level. City lost a gem when we nicked him ❤
I am a Chelsea fan, and when Milner started playing for City, I used to use the name Kevin Milner on Facebook because of him. Very humble, no ego, worked hard, my favourite player (behind Lampard)
So glad he's at Brighton, there will never be a Milly again.
