James Milner’s Early years

James Milner

As a young boy, Milner enjoyed playing cricket, football and competing in long distance running events. While growing up he was an avid supporter of Leeds United F.C. and eventually joined the team’s youth academy at the age of 10. He eventually made his debut for the team at the tender age of 16 in which he was to become the youngest individual ever to score during a Premier League match. He had replaced an injured Jason Wilcox when playing against West Ham United in 2002.

Time at Leeds United and Newcastle

While playing for Leeds United, Milner was also on loan to Swindon Town, so that he could gain further experience in playing for a first team. It was while playing for his beloved Leeds that he was sold to Newcastle United, as a result of the club being relegated in 2004. Following his short stay at Newcastle United, he then transferred to Manchester City. While at Newcastle he made over 100 match appearances and played in both the 2010 FIFA World Cup and in the 2012 UEFA Euro Cup.
