"Ultimately its their team, their club. They were there long before I was there and they'll be there long after me. I'm renting a shirt there. Can I represent them and add to this amazing history of the club" What a legend. Nobody talks like that about fans. I'm not even Liverpool fan but this was the best I have ever heard of any footballer talking about fans.

I think Gerrard said the same about playing for Liverpool, being a custodian of the shirt.

He come to Liverpool at 29 and no Liverpool supporter believed he’d be more than a bit-part player. He made his mark as Liverpool legend because of the unsung things he done. Behind the scenes helping the young players, keeping standards high, being a model professional. Milner embodied a Klopp team too.

How was he possibly unsung?

Under Jürgen Klopp, Milner spent all of the 2016-17 season playing at left back for Liverpool. Milner stated he did not enjoy playing as a left back but also said: "It's about whatever's best for the team and ultimately I just want to be out there playing games, contributing and helping this football club."

Absolute legend is often over-used in my opinion but is 100% accurate when talking about James Milner.

5:34 Milner kept saying ‘we’ throughout this interview. Shows that he still considers himself as a Liverpool player through and through.

It's because of players like Milner that Liverpool kept driving forward in those difficult moments that he refers to. Most sporting teams get down-hearted after a massive disappointment, where they've put in herculean efforts only to be thwarted, but Liverpool kept going and going. I watched Brighton's last game and Millie was as good as ever. Relentless!

When he signed for Liverpool it was an under the radar signing and it turned out to be huge. He was so good at Liverpool. He added heart and grit and toughness. Absolute legend.

Klopp did something special at Liverpool so many people at the right place at the right time. Klopps Liverpool will go down as legendary.

He's a born winner, and having Millie's winning mentality in the dressing home was invaluable to Klopp

He's played for city and Liverpool and I am a hardcore man united fan for20 years and counting, but by god James Milner is a proper professional gentleman. I wish half our players had this much honour and passion, still one of the best brighton players in an already amazing team.

James Milner, when ever he eventually hangs up his boots. Should be called back to the club in some capacity. His physical fitness was incredible and for a Senior Player at Liverpool FC he was a great ambassador.

Honestly, when the midfield trio left, it wasn't the captain Hendo or the starter Fabinho, it was Milner leaving that I felt the saddest about. Unreal professional who would break bones and lose teeth for the team, and would walk through the wall just because the manager asks him to. A real figure for the young talents in the dressing room to look up to and learn professionalism from. He hasn't gotten as many minutes anymore, but with his fitness and leadership, he's still getting super-sub appearances.

Milner is one of my favourite players of all times. What he reprecented on, and off, the pitch is a quality you can't teach. His mental strengh is off the charts, and his ability to contain a situation and control a game is unmatched. He was the kind of leader, that inspired through hard work and an ethical approach to his role. Players like Messi wins you games, players like Milner wins you titles...

From perceived bench fodder when he signed from City to becoming an absolute legend for Liverpool...

It's been interesting hearing the opinions of Brighton fans this season because many had the same doubts about him being too old that Liverpool fans had. What he actually does for a side, both on and off the field, quickly override any issues about his age.

Matip and McAllister should also be in the conversation, IMO.

All great teams are built on solid foundations, Milly along with players like Hendo gave that foundation for the so called stars to shine. A class man and ultimate professional. The only words from a Liverpool fan is Thank You for the memories.

THE Professional, as Jurgen mentioned a few times, Milly's contribution was more than the efforts he showed on the field. It was important to have such leadership. He is the example of the 'leave everything on the field' type of effort, every time.

"You're not one of us tonight." You will always be one of us, Milly. #YNWA

Been consistently brilliant at every club on and off the pitch and a player that all football fans appreciate what he’s done.

Just a few words from Milner have made me realise how little I understood what was going on in the minds of our players between 2018 and 2019. Never did I think coming second with 97 points and losing a champions league final a year before, that our players could have wavered and left without going in to win League, Champions league and other cups. I’m now in total awe more than ever, of their commitment to our club. I felt bad about last season cause I knew we were seeing the last of Milner, Hendo, Fab, Mane and Origi in a time which saw us play pretty poorly after barely hanging in there end of 2021. Fresh injury free legs could have made a difference but we had tough times and bit of bad luck with injuries. Makes me re-think certain views of mine. Thank you James Milner. 🙏🏿❤️👍🏽🔥🔥

Best free transfer. True Liverpool legend

You will be remembered James, yes you will. A true legend !

1 of the 2 best penalty takers Liverpool have ever had the other was Molby. He was also so important to us winning the league and was fantastic especially in the first half of that season clearing shots of the line, tackles from nowhere and making goals. I really hope he comes back to the club as a coach when he's done playing. It was a good deal that brought him to the club for free.
