5 things you (probably) didn’t know about Liverpool’s James Milner

The most-capped England Under-21 player

Milner hasn’t played for the England Under-21s for eight years, but his tally of 46 caps is the most of any Englishman at that level.

He made his debut for his country against Sweden in 2004, and went on to score nine times in 45 further games for the Three Lions, before receiving his first call-up to the senior squad in August 2009.

Chelsea’s Nathaniel Chalobah and Southampton’s Nathan Redmond are second on the list with 34 caps, still some way behind the Liverpool man.
