- This week's guest is Brighton midfielder James Milner: three-times Premier League winner, a Champions League winner and holder of 61 England caps. He's worked with some of the best managers in the business and in this episode he gives us insights into how they led, motivated and coached players.
Why would Jurgen Klopp lose his rag at the start of his reign at Anfield? Who once made his players continue training even with a tornado incoming? And how did he feel when his own manager said, "You'll never win anything with a team of James Milners"?
James also reveals what drew him to Brighton and what it's like playing under Roberto De Zerbi and what he'd do about VAR.

This is Football's Greatest with Jeff Stelling, a weekly podcast where the legendary host sits down with icons of the sport - one on one - to talk about those who made a difference in the beautiful game from a players’ perspective: the top keepers, the toughest defenders, the silkiest midfielders and the deadliest strikers.
The show will also look at those who had great influence off the pitch too - the successful managers, the funniest team-mates and the most impressive leaders in the dressing room - and pay homage to indelible moments from the biggest competitions like the Premier League, Champions League and the World Cup.
Broken down into two individual episodes with each guest, Football’s Greatest will take you inside the dressing rooms of some of the best soccer teams the world has ever seen. You will hear stories that surprise you, that make you laugh out loud and that you will be thinking of and telling people about for days after.

James Milner's Greatest Managers: What Makes Klopp, De Zerbi & Sir Bobby So Good? 👏 | Ep 2 - Спорт
Liverpool’s best ever free transfer. What a player.
Couldn't have picked a better time to join the club, could he? ⚽️👑
Matip wasn’t a bad free transfer either
@@sku2tis very true!
@@SHRWM 😂😂
Gary MacAllister?
The ultimate professional. Can't wait to see him back at Liverpool in some capacity! A total legend.
What do you think is next for him, Joe? 🤔
@@footballsgreatestpodI hope he comes back to us as a coach. Seems a great lad and incredibly intelligent and down to earth.
@@footballsgreatestpod If he can get himself a one season extension, play a few games next season and also do 5 minutes in goal during that time, he can have the appearance record, have played in every role on the field and have won everything possible on a domestic level. The man's a god.
@@footybite-gt1by genuinely surprised he hasn't had to finish a match off in goal before 😂
Yes , he was one my favourites in Liverpool F. C. when he played at the Reds
Milner, McAllister and Matip. Three of the greatest ever free transfers, not just at Liverpool but in the Premier League in general.
Proper business that 👏
McAllister was not a free transfer.
Was just about to say MacAlister cost £35 million
But you mean Gary Mac who was also a sensation
Better than Sol Campbell?
Really hope James comes back to Liverpool in some capacity when he retires. Legend
Brighton got top player an leader respect r mil
Wen lock down comes on am worried about beer lemo r mil James wants tbags Yorkshire t better man than me r James mill
@@ynwa9785 well said mate
Such a ledg 🙇🏼♀️💓💞💖 🏆
If ever a player was described as the ultimate professional... James milner was that and more, what a player and such a good lad off the field.
Just listening to Milner makes it so much easier to understand why that team we had were so successful. What a professional.
Such a genuine and humble character, a PL great - Hopefully he can break the appearances record!
34 to go 🤞
Such a legend. When he does retire I’d love to see him back at Liverpool in some capacity
He will be a pundit, and a good one i'd wager.
@@Sparooga think he proved that here for sure 👏
@@footballsgreatestpod Is this actually you Jeff?
Brilliant athlete first and foremost and one of the greats for Liverpool. He'd have been a brilliant captain of any PL team, Liverpool were lucky to have him for so long in his prime. A true testament to the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none, but always better than a master of one". One of the greatest english football careers
with milly its "JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF ALL"
James Milner gets the label of hard worker and selfless but as an actual footballer and his ability. He is a very technically sound player. Very very clean passer of a ball. His passes are always the right weight and they’re never wayward. Possibly one of the most useful assets you can have in a world class squad
Milner belongs in that small clutch of players we at Leeds will never forget 😎 Milner & Speed are my top 2 fav Leeds players players #MOT
That Old Trafford record must please Leeds fans too 😂
Really miss Mr Dependable in Liverpool. But I get that he still wants to play more. He still tops the fitness charts every pre season at his age. What a machine. YNWA
Klopp wanted him the owners didn’t
@@ghettablkgffbwould love ❤️ Milner to return to Liverpool as a coach/Manager when he retires YNWA.
@@nicholasmiller872 me too but be assistant coach there first
A great role model, our Millie, you just gotta love him.
Didn't think we'd miss him so much, but we do.
Couldn't have expected to have lost him, Hendo and Fabinho in the same window 🤯
im affraid we will miss him most at the end of the season when results need to be grinded out. Milner is unbreakable.
As a Liverpool fan, I loved this interview! Always fascinating hearing more from the experiences of our players
James Milner. Integral part of our success under klopp ❤️
The last truly great old school prem midfielder, god millie what a gent and one of the best free transfers in our history,top gent too
Definitely played across different eras hasn't he
@@footballsgreatestpod if he wasnt on city's bench for so long I genuinely think he could of been one of the most capped players ever,absolute inspiration to the younger players if they take it on board,one of the most underrated by a country mie
Millions of podcasts but this is one that I’m glad has come around. Love a bit of Jeff. And Milly a football legend and encompassing what a real professional looks like. The ultimate pro.
The ultimate professional...really would love to see Millie return to LFC as part of the coaching team. YNWA❤
Millie really came to my attention when he was playing CM for villa.Shame he never really got to play there consistently when @ city & Liverpool.The perfect professional.YNWA
I loved watching him play for Villa, such consistency, wish we could have had him at Liverpool sooner. Confirmed legend, deserves a Ribena on the house in any pub in the land
A manager's dream 👏
Great interview. Love James Milner, one of my favourite players ever.
Well done Jeff, thought your questions were excellent, think this podcast will become a staple in my week now 👍
Nice one Rickey! ⚽👑
love seeing him play for brighton hes been a great bit of business and has made a great impact for us up the seagulls
One hell of a player. I’m sorry he left Liverpool, but I will always be a fan of Milly, wherever he goes. Good luck for the future James. YNWA.
I love this guy so much! Hope he breaks the record for most appearances in the EPL
He wore the number 7 shirt for LFC another top player who was successful in that iconic shirt.
The King 👑
Great interview once again Jeff well done,James Milner was fantastic for the Villa every game I saw him top professional.
Jeff Stellings own podcast! Finally! Can listen to you all day Jeff
One of my favourites to don a Liverpool shirt. Incredible player and role model.
What a legend!
Underrated Premier League hero, a proper player
The ultimate professional - Premier League legend
Mr Dependable ⚽👑
An instant subscribe with it being the legendary Jeff!
13:16 Alberto moreno made Robertson’s career, honestly moreno made Robertson look like messi
Absolutely fantastic player
Will never forget the fact he’s the player that scored the first goal I saw at a live game when me and my dad went to see the England U21s at the New Wembley
Jeff you’re a national treasure mate! Looking forward to listening 👍🏻 also Milner what a top pro, MOT
Two excellent interviews already, Jeff! Looking forward to seeing you in Cardiff in March 😁
I haven’t watched this awesome guy for years!!!
Nice one, JJ! Glad you're loving the show ⚽️👑
Milner is a legend!!!
The only guy who could wear the no 7 shirt for Liverpool ❤
Leeds' finest. Super proud of you James lad. MOT.
Loved the mental strength of Milner. Best free we ever had!
He will be back at Liverpool as a coach for sure. A brilliant signing for Liverpool. One great professional who leads by example.
Often said but its true... one of the true great odel professionals. Not flashy, not front page news, no stupid haircuts, just solid dependable and a real teamplayer. More players would benefit from looking up to this guy instead of the likes of Neymar!
Best free signing EVER
a true legend and more importantly a gentleman
You're a natural, Jeff 👏
For once the algorithms came up trumps. The Machine...what a player. Always seems a great bloke. Looking forward to seeing Jeff in Dartford in a few weeks.
loving these podcasts!
👏👏
Great interview.
Great interview
Nice interview
No one could get near to him on pre-season lactic tests, has never drunk alcohol apparently. Still missing him in a red shirt. Thanks JM
Brighton Kitman will be gutted with that number 6 peeling off! :) Great player, great interview.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Cute move getting Milly with Lallana at Brighton. What a pair along with Welbeck to bring so many youngsters on. Can’t have better role models..the 3 daddy’s 😄👊 🥂
Good pod Jeff
there's a fantastic interview with milner on high performance channel
Top man!
A brilliant footballer and excellent 👏 person
He's a machine, shows no signs of slowing down.
Will have the PL appearance record in no time at this rate 😅
How on earth has Unbelievable Jeff only got 3600 subscribers? Legend
James Milner a king
Love jeff love james but cant deal with another pod
I miss Milner, wish Milner was still playing for Liverpool YNWA 👍
Hi Jeff, great podcast and you liked my tweet too 😮
Really amazing that James said to only speak Spanish at home so as to practice it, even with his kids.
Yes Jeff, straight on your channel. Love it
Loved him at Lfc wonderful player ynwa Millie
Can see him being England manager when his done ✔️ great professional
Would love James Milner to return to Liverpool when he decides to retire from playing & become a coach at Liverpool or even Manager of Liverpool ?? YNWA.
We talk about Messi and Ronaldo when referring to longevity but Milner is in the same category.
The Benjamin Button of football amazing career 👏👏
Given the news today about Klopp interesting what Jimmy says at 6.39.
Very hardworking player❤ynwa milner
Probably the most fit 35 YO in the game. :)
James Milner will be an amazing manager. The viking true warrior...estellar genetics.
Will be back at Leeds one day, coaching role it seems now
Mr versatile. Definitely goes down as a Liverpool legend.
“There’s only 1 jimmy milner” 💪🫡
Like this.
Cheers Eric 👍
This could be a really promising series.
Jeff let loose.
Quality player for us. YNWA Milly.
James.love.Mr.Reliable
Legend ynwa
What time is this interview at ? it seems like your in an old pub the krays ran
In a tough game it was 20 mins to go if klopp brought on milner I knew it we were good.
Just remember he is leeds lad and a leeds fan and always will be
What does James think of the state of blood doping in the EPL?
Don't know what's happened at Brighton this season, seem to be blowing hot and cold, either de zerbi style of play has been sussed or players aren't getting the message,I bet the owners are loving him though, he seems to have made them a fortune with the players he's got and then had to sell
Cheeky get missed our other trophies such as CLUB WORLD CUP, UEFA SUPER CUP ETC
YNWA ❤️
No mention of Villa
Bias opinion but this was great Thank for sharing Jeff (subbed) 💯🔥
Not-so-boring after all it seems 😂
So what happened Kris I don't know Jeff 😂😂😂
Leeds lad 🟡⚪️🔵
god forbid if i ever see him at a starbucks
De Zerbi to Liverpool
If he played LB on the regular one game sooner Liverpool would have won the Europa League
He’s a silly little sausage that James Milner a silly silly sausage 😂
The first time i lost a little respect for Milner, Golf I ffing hate golf. I mean really rwally hate it!
Just kidding , milner is as close as i get to having a role model! 😊
