Only nine other players have played for more than six different clubs in the Premier League era, and Milner is the only player to have played in 24 consecutive seasons, a record that is likely to stand the test of time.

Milner has also made his mark on the Premier League's record books. He was the third-youngest scorer in the league's history when he scored for Leeds against Sunderland in December 2002, aged 16 years and 356 days. Although this record has since been broken, Milner became the second-oldest scorer in Premier League history at 39 years and 239 days old, when he scored for Brighton against Manchester City in August 2025.

Another notable achievement of Milner's was his best campaign in the 2009/10 season, where he started every one of the 36 games he played, amassing 3,174 minutes, the most in one season across his career. He also managed the most goal contributions of his time at the top, with seven goals and 12 assists, giving him a collective 19 contributions.

Milner's impressive record also includes having more assists than David Beckham, with 90 assists in total across his 24 seasons. He had 10 more assists than Beckham and would have edged ahead of several other notable players if he had managed just five more assists before retirement.

Throughout his career, Milner has been known for his professionalism, and his ability to still be selected in the Premier League in his 40s is a testament to his dedication. As the game evolves, it's difficult to imagine anyone equalling or surpassing his record, and his name will undoubtedly live on in the memories of fans of English football.
