Brighton’s Ageless Wonder Extends Contract…
Here’s the tale of James Milner, a man who simply refused to age like a fine wine and instead opted to defy the very fabric of time! The ex-Liverpool dynamo has extended his stay at Brighton & Hove Albion with a new contract that flings him into his 40s, like a middle-aged superhero swinging onto the Premier League stage. Despite spending last season more glued to the massage table than to the pitch, Brighton believes Milner’s presence is more essential than your nan’s biscuits at tea time. He’s just 15 matches away from pulling Gareth Barry off his Premier League perch!
This man is like the bionic grandad of football! At 39, and after a stint that rivals the lifespan of a particularly stubborn oak tree, Milner is on the verge of smashing records with his trusty old legs. The Brighton boss, Fabian Hurzler, arguably also a time traveler, can’t stop singing Milner’s praises. Known for keeping things lively around the dressing room, Milner’s basically considered the wise owl among a flock of eager young seagulls.
Having donned jerseys from Leeds to Liverpool and dabbled with finer pastures at Manchester City and Aston Villa, Milner’s CV is a hall of fame exhibit. Throughout his career he’d been as versatile as a chameleon on a rainbow, even winning the Premier League with two clubs while also bagging a Champions League trophy. He’s dodged more defenders than a ninja in a dodgy alley, rocking up 61 England caps for good measure. If Captain Milner continues to captain his ship into the 40s, he’ll join the exclusive club of 40+ outfield warriors. Watch out, Father Time, Milner’s coming for you!
