"Milner now has 654 Premier League appearances (Image credit: Getty Images) In his 24th Premier League season, James Milner has finally broken the record for the most Premier League appearances. During his career, the midfielder played for Leeds, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Brighton, also earning 61 England caps from 2009 to 2016. And after his record-breaking 654th Premier League appearance, FourFourTwo looks back on who joins him on the elite list."
"Long before we were privileged to witness his sublime co-commentary lines such as Ballon D'Or' (x7), Rio Ferdinand was one of the league's greatest ever defenders. Six seasons at West Ham from 1995 to 2001 were followed by two at Leeds, before he left for Manchester United in a world record fee for a defender. Six Premier League titles, a Champions League trophy, and 11 years later, he moved to QPR, where his 11 appearances are best forgotten."
"One of only three players on this list to have made all their Premier League appearances for the same club, Steven Gerrard's league career reads like a cautionary tale. Inarguably one of the best midfielders in the world, Gerrard stuck with Liverpool over a potential move to Chelsea, winning the 2005 Champions League, two FA Cups, and three League Cups."
James Milner set the Premier League appearance record with 654 matches in his 24th season. Milner's club career includes Leeds, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton, and he earned 61 England caps between 2009 and 2016. The milestone places Milner above long-serving professionals such as Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher. Rio Ferdinand won six Premier League titles and a Champions League after spells at West Ham, Leeds and Manchester United. Steven Gerrard made 504 Premier League appearances for Liverpool, winning the 2005 Champions League, two FA Cups and three League Cups. Jamie Carragher made 508 league appearances for Liverpool.
