So, then a couple of years later to get relegated…I think any time you lose a final… I've been fortunate enough to win some trophies, but I've lost a fair few finals as well, so that's never nice.Kelly: Is there one in particular that you look back on?James: I think Champions League finals. We've had a few conversations and topics around it - I think there was one earlier this year where we scored a goal in the Carabao, I think, and a few of the young boys had the tiniest shinpads on.I think people's shinpads now are that small because you can't really tackle, whereas when I first came through, the first pass you got, you know you're getting walloped from behind.

Played against him, he was horrible...'Kelly: What do you think they say about you?James: Who knows?Kelly: What's the one thing that people get wrong about you the most?James: I don't want to say it, but I'd probably say the 'boring' thing. I think to be able to do that with two... that's something that I'm proud of.Like I say, that's probably more me than an individual record - it's something that you've achieved as a group.Kelly: How long can you go on for?James: I mean, who knows?

But I know how hard he [Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler] works and how hard you have to work and I think after playing for so long and having that intensity for so long, I think the first thing is probably to have a bit of a rest.Kelly: And, finally, if you could tell a young James Milner one thing now, what would it be?James: I'd probably say, 'enjoy it more', but I don't think it's possible.
