James Philip Milner (born January 4, 1986, Wortley, West Yorkshire) is an English footballer who plays as a winger and left-sided midfielder for the English club Newcastle United.

As a child, Milner was recognised as a talent in football, cricket and long distance running. He represented his school in each and also played football for teams from Rawdon and Horsforth. He supported Leeds United from a young age and was a season ticket holder at the club before becoming a ballboy.

Milner began his career at Leeds United by joining the Leeds United academy. He was later taken on as a trainee and made his first appearance for the first team in 2002, aged only 16. He achieved prominence by becoming the youngest player ever to score in the Premier League, aged 16 years and 356 days.

While at Leeds United, Milner spent some time on loan at Swindon Town to gain first team experience. Following his move to Newcastle United, he was loaned to Aston Villa during the 2005–06 season. He has since established himself in the Newcastle first team his main role to the team is helping to create scoring chances. He does not however score many goals. He has now made over a hundred appearances for them and remains part of the Newcastle starting eleven, featuring regularly in domestic and European games.

At international level, Milner has made a record number of appearances for the England under-21 side. Outside of football he is an easygoing person who rarely speaks to the media.

[edit] Early life

Born in Wortley and raised in Horsforth, Leeds, Milner played most of his football as a child for Westbrook School in Horsforth. While playing there, Graeme Coulson, a coach from Rawdon, recognised his talent and asked who he was. Coulson persuaded Milner to play for his Rawdon side in various tournaments and the team went on to win a tournament in Rawdon Meadows, which Coulson called "prestigious", with Milner scoring four goals in the final.[1]

I noted his name and it was one not to be forgotten. He was an outstanding talent scoring lots of goals but he was also very strong.
–Graeme Coulson[1]

Milner was described as a "first class" student at Westbrook School and left with 11 GCSEs, as well as an award for his performance in physical education.[1][2] He showed talent in cricket and played for the Yorkshire Schools team, and was an impressive sprinter and long distance runner. He was the cross-country champion at his school for three consecutive years and the district champion over 100 metres for two years in row.[1] Milner took just as much interest in watching football as he did playing it. He supported Leeds United from a very young age. His earliest memory of the team is watching them win the FA Youth Cup in 1993.[3] He and his parents Peter and Lesley were all Leeds United season ticket holders and Milner even became a ballboy later, because he wanted to get closer to the action.

When Milner was ten he joined the Leeds United Academy after he was spotted by a scout while playing for Westbrook Juniors in Horsforth.[1] However, his father insisted that he attend college once a week to keep up with his education.[4] While at the academy, Milner played against contemporaries from other clubs in the north, including Wayne Rooney. His role model was Leeds-born striker Alan Smith. Milner believed the chance to play with Smith worked as a learning curve because Smith had done what Milner aspired to do — to come through the Academy and play for the first team.[3] Making good progress at the academy, he was taken on as a trainee after leaving school. Milner remarked that he had to pinch himself playing alongside first team players such as David Batty and Olivier Dacourt, but also said he did not want to get excited and think that he "had already made it".[2] Milner continued to improve his skills with the youth team, playing for the Republic of Ireland at Under-14 level and England at Under-15 and Under-17 levels.[1][5] At Under-17 level he helped England win the 2002 Under-17 Nationwide summer tournament against Italy, Czech Republic and Brazil, with a goal against the latter.[6]

[edit] Career

Milner has played for four English professional clubs at senior level: Leeds United, Swindon Town (on loan from Leeds), Newcastle United and Aston Villa (on loan from Newcastle). By the age of 21 he had already played under eleven different managers at club level.[7] Over his entire career as of October 2007 he has made over 200 appearances. He is now a regular in the England under-21 side and played for them at the European Under-21 Football Championship.

[edit] Leeds United

Milner's debut for Leeds United was on 10 November 2002 in a game against West Ham United when he came on as a substitute for Jason Wilcox for the last six minutes. The appearance made him the second youngest player ever to play in the Premier League, at the age of 16 years and 309 days.[8] On Boxing Day that year he became the youngest scorer in the history of the Premier League with a goal in a 2–1 win against Sunderland.[9] He celebrated both this and his debut with a "quiet night in".[2] In a later match Milner scored a goal against Chelsea that impressed several reporters. His first touch was described as "a beauty", allowed him to avoid a tackle from Marcel Desailly and create a yard of space to deliver a curling shot from 18 yards away.[10] His desire, ability with both feet and confidence in the game impressed several reporters — Milner's performance prompted comparisons to England internationals Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney, who also came to prominence as teenagers.[11][12] The BBC even asked in a poll if he was a better prospect than Rooney.[10] After making more appearances for Leeds, Milner signed a new five-year contract with with them on 10 February 2003.[13]

At the start of the 2003–04 season, Milner was sent on a month-long loan to Division Two side Swindon Town to gain experience as a first team player, which he saw as a valuable experience.[3] He spent a month with Swindon, scoring two goals in six games. As well as gaining experience with Swindon, Milner also continued to develop on the international scene. He represented the England under-20 team at the 2003 World Youth Championship. Not long after, Peter Taylor called him up to the England under-21 side, for which he debuted against Sweden.[14]

However, Leeds United's fortunes differed and they struggled the league. Milner believed the experience made him stronger emotionally and taught him how to deal with team problems.[3] Leeds' ultimate relegation to the Championship led to speculation over Milner's future at the club, although he had signed a five-year deal with Leeds the previous year. Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Everton all expressed an interest in him,[8] however Villa and Everton never actually made offers for him and Milner rejected an offer from Tottenham because they were based too far from his family home.[15][16] Leeds also insisted that he would not be sold, the chairman of the team at the time even referring to him as "the future of Leeds".[3] However, financial problems eventually forced them to sell him to Newcastle United for an initial price of £3,600,000. The final total paid was £5,000,000 after a certain number of appearances for the new club. Although Milner was not happy to be leaving the club he had supported as a child, he wished to do what was "in the club's best interest"[3] and in July 2004, he agreed a five-year deal with Newcastle.[8]

Milner made his first appearance for Newcastle United during their pre-season tour of Asia, and scored his first goal for the club against Kitchee in Hong Kong. The match ended in a 1–1 draw.[17] During this tour, he took the opportunity to observe how Alan Shearer dealt with the fans and press. He said that associating with people like Shearer taught him how to deal with the media.[2]

Milner's first Premier League game for Newcastle was a 2–2 draw against Middlesbrough, in which he played on the right wing despite having regularly featured on the left for Leeds. When asked about this after the game, Milner said he had no preference where on the pitch he played.[18] A month later he made his debut in European competition, when Newcastle played Bnei Sakhnin from Israel, in the UEFA Cup after coming on as a substitute for Shola Ameobi.[19] In that same month, he scored his first competitive goal for the club in a 3–1 win against West Bromwich Albion.[20]

However, things changed for Milner after Bobby Robson, who Milner considered his mentor, was sacked and replaced by Graeme Souness. Despite starting in 13 league games, the midfielder did not play his first full Premier League game for Newcastle until 24 April 2005. By the end of the season, he had made 41 appearances in all competitions and scored once. As well not making a regular in the Newcastle side, Souness also controversially remarked that the club would not win "with a team of James Milners". Although Milner's response to this statement was reported as "mature", he did confirm that he was frustrated at not being used as a starter for most of the season.[21][22] Despite playing less at club level however, Milner did score his first goal for the England under-21 side during the 2004–05 season. His first goal came in a qualification game against Wales during the 2007 European Under-21 Championship. The goal helped England to a 2–0 win.[23]

At the start of the 2005–06 season, Milner scored in a 3–1 win away against FK ZTS Dubnica in the Intertoto Cup, during which he also set up the third goal for Shearer.[24] His run of form in this competition continued when he scored again in the next round against Deportivo la Coruña. Despite these goals however, a clause in Newcastle's purchase of Nolberto Solano from Aston Villa resulted in Milner being loaned to Villa for the rest of the season. Villa manager David O'Leary, who had managed Milner at Leeds, was happy to acquire Milner in this deal, saying that he believed Villa got the better of the deal[25] and that he hoped to improve Milner as a player.[26]

[edit] Aston Villa

Milner made his Villa debut on 12 September in a Premiership match against West Ham and five days later scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. He then helped his side recover from being 3–1 down at half-time against Wycombe Wanderers in the League Cup, scoring two goals to help the side to an 8–3 win.[27] Throughout the season, Milner was positive about his team. He remained confident that they would recover after making a poor start to the season and praised the quality of the squad and as well as its spirit.[28]

Milner was generally seen as a positive signing in what was a disappointing season for Villa.[29] Milner himself also received the move positively and said he would like to join Villa permanently because of the probability of becoming a regular starter, but admitted that his long-term future at the club, was beyond his control.[30] O'Leary confirmed during the season that he would like to sign Milner permanently but doubted he would be given the opportunity.[31] He even pulled out of signing Robert Huth so that he would have the funds to sign Milner permanently if the opportunity arose.[32] Shortly before the end of his loan spell ended in May 2006 negotiations between Villa and Newcastle began.

The newly appointed Newcastle manager Glenn Roeder appeared to have more appreciation for Milner's ability than Souness had shown and expressed his desire to keep him at Newcastle. This and the fact Villa had a lack of transfer funds at Villa, in addition to a change of management at the club, meant a deal regarding there desire to sign Milner permanently, appeared unlikely. It appeared to become even less likely when, in June, Villa rejected an offer of Milner as part of a trade for Gareth Barry.[33] However, when Villa were taken over by American billionaire Randy Lerner, and Martin O'Neill was appointed as new manager, there previous deal was resurrected. Villa therefore made an improved offer to Newcastle on 30 August, which was accepted by Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd. Media sources quoted the transfer fee as being £4,000,000. A moved to Villa appeared to have been agreed, but at the last moment Newcastle recalled Milner and the talks broke down.[34]

[edit] Return to Newcastle United

Newcastle's players and manager Glenn Roeder reacted positively to the recall at the start of the 2006–07 season[35] with Roeder highly praising Milner's ability.[34] Although Roeder also praised the way Milner had handled the failure of the Villa transfer, he himself was criticised for the way he had handled the negotiations with Villa, he refused to apologise for this however. He also confirmed that he would play Milner in "plenty of games". This proved to be the case, as Milner started the season playing regularly in the first team and remained a starter for the entire season.

He also continued to impress at international level, helping the England under-21 side to reach the playoffs of the Under-21 European Championship qualifiers. He scored the winning goal of a 3–2 win over Switzerland, securing England a place in the playoffs.[36] In contrast Newcastle made a poor start to the season in the Premier League, but Milner played a key role in helping them advance through the group stage of the UEFA Cup. Shortly after this, rumours began to spread that he would be sold during the transfer window, although both Milner and Roeder dismissed these.[37]

On 1 January 2007 he scored his first goal of the season, in Newcastle's 2–2 draw with Manchester United. It was a shot from 25 yards and was described as "stunning".[38] He scored two more goals in the next three weeks, against Birmingham City and then against West Ham United. Both of these were also scored from at least 20 yards away from goal. Later in the season Roeder praised the progress Milner had made during the season and said that he believed him to be the hardest training player at the club. During the season, Milner displayed his ability to play comfortably on either wing, scoring and setting up goals with both feet on either flank.[39] As a result Milner signed a new contract at Newcastle on January 20, which secured his future at the club until 2011.[40][41] He signed another four-year contract in May 2007, when Sam Allardyce took over as manager of Newcastle.[42] Milner confirmed that he was happy about his future at the club and with the new manager.[43]

In June, Milner competed for England at the European Under-21 Football Championship where he played in all four of England's matches. He was booked in the semi-final against the Netherlands, which meant he would have missed the final. He did, however, score twice in the penalty shootout, which England lost 13–12.[44] After Milner's performance in this Championship it was rumoured in August that he would make his full England debut in a friendly against Germany, but in the end he was left out of the squad.[45] He was, however, included in the under-21 squad for a friendly against Romania, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[46] A month later Milner set an under-21 record by making his 30th appearance for the side in a 3–0 against Montenegro. He set up the first goal of this game with a corner.[47] Historically, players with several England under-21 appearances have not progressed to become regulars in the senior side, which has led some to doubt whether he would be able to successfully make the transition.[48]

[edit] Style of play

Milner has a positive and unselfish approach to football and his teammates and plays with a fair amount of pace.[4][28][49] Because of this, his main role on the team is as a wide midfielder who creates scoring opportunities as well as taking the ball past defenders. Despite this he does not score many goals, but does produce several assists. Former teammate Nolberto Solano said that because of his pace, Milner would become an important team player.[50]

Milner has the ability to pass and shoot with both feet, but describes defending as one of his weaknesses.[51] He therefore usually goes forward for set pieces and is often a candidate to take corners and free kicks[52] — this is supported by his ability to produce accurate crosses and play on either side of the field.[53][54] Despite these positive qualities, some commentators still criticise his crossing ability as sub-par.[55]

All my life I've wanted to do what I'm doing now. Now I'm here, and enjoying every minute of it. You've got to make a few sacrifices, but I don't mind that.
–James Milner[4]

Milner has been described as being "a good reader of the game"[56] and his awareness of players around him, as well as his willingness to pass, has been described as mature for a player of his age.[11] It also allows him to pick out a forward run being made by a teammate from a range of positions on the field. This awareness has also given him the confidence to take on defenders.[52]

Milner believes that he is a hard-worker, confident and relaxed,[51] expressing willingness to play as much as possible.[57] His good work ethic in training has been compared to that of Frank Lampard.[39] Milner also feels that Wayne Rooney's move to Manchester United and success as a player has taken a lot of pressure off his own career — commenting, "I have been able to concentrate on football and ignore everything else".[21] During his career, Milner has been booked 15 times and has never been sent off.[58][59]
