James Milner is the nicest guy ever – the most hard-working pro I’ve ever worked with, he deserves everything he’s ever got in life. I played against him when he was at Newcastle and I always knew he was a top player, even from his time at Leeds when he was coming through with Aaron Lennon and everyone used to talk about him.<\/p>\n

To see his progression going from Leeds to Newcastle, then Villa, gets his move to Man City, wins the Premier League twice, goes to Liverpool, wins the league again, it’s just an incredible career in terms of attitude, application and ability as well.<\/p>\n

He’s better than a lot of people give him credit for. He can play left, right, centre; his shooting technique is amazing as well. I can’t be happy enough for him.<\/p>\n
