A bizarre and unique piece of James Milner memorabilia has appeared on Facebook marketplace - much to the amusement of fans. Posting to Facebook, one person looked to be flogging the giant pitch shirt from Milner's 654th Premier League appearance for a staggering £750.

While selling football memorabilia is all well and good, the shirt isn't for every day wear given its comically huge size.

The accompanying image shows the shirt taking up the vast majority of the seller's garden, while side-by-side snaps show just how big it is when laid out on a football pitch.

Stood above the 654 Milner shirt, two people are seen looking microscopic in comparison to the ginormous celebratory football jersey.

People were quick to comment on the post, with everyone seemingly scratching their heads as to what anyone would do with the bizarre piece of memorabilia.

On Facebook, one person wrote: "What would you even do with this! Very cool, just hope whoever buys it has the BFGs set used wardrobe too."

Another person penned: "That would go lovely on my wall," while a third person commented: "Give it to James Milner himself. He'd love to count the stitches in it in his free time now."

"If it came as a pair I may have been interested," said another group member, while one social media user remarked: "How? Do you have a coat hanger big enough for it?"

Milner announced his retirement at the age of 40 in June after a 24-year-long Premier League career.

The former Liverpool legend played for six of England's top teams and broke the record for most Premier League appearances in February this year.

Milner made his England debut while with Aston Villa in 2009 and ended his international career with 61 caps.

"I've been fortunate enough to experience some unforgettable moments, from fighting for survival to wining trophies, playing in Europe and representing my country at two European Championships and two World Cups," read a statement released by Milner via his social media.

"But more than anything, it's the people and the friendships I've made throughout the game that I'll cherish forever."

In 2020, he helped Liverpool with their first League title since 1990 and lifted the FA Cup and League Cup with both Liverpool and Manchester City.

"I leave the game with immense pride, gratitude and memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life," Milner continued.
