Episode 14: James Milner - Ask a Footballer
Listen now
Description
James Milner's first appearance in the Premier League was as a substitute for Manchester United's new technical director, Jason Wilcox. He is that bloody old. 634 Premier League appearances later, he may soon takeover Gareth Barry as the player with the most appearances of all.  In 2019, he wrote Ask a Footballer, which is not so much an autobiography as it is a collection of thoughts - musings even - on the life of a Premier League footballer.  Ultimately, the thing that most people interested in this book want to know is, is James Milner as boring as they say. Tune in for Episode 14 to find out.
