Gareth Barry has company in the Premier League record books.
James Milner came on in the 22nd minute of Brighton’s Wednesday match at Aston Villa for his 653th league appearance, equaling Barry’s mark.
Milner came on for Carlos Baleba, who picked up an early caution.
A native of Leeds, Milner made his senior debut in 2002 for his boyhood club as a 16-year-old against West Ham, becoming the second-youngest player to appear in a Premier League game at the time.
He would go on to suit up for Newcastle, Villa, Manchester City and Liverpool. Milner has won three Premier League titles, two FA Cups, two League Cups and a Champions League title.
Internationally, he was capped 61 times by England from 2009 to 2016, appearing at two World Cups and two Euros.
