Should Milner equal Barry’s record on Wednesday evening, he will do so having played significantly fewer minutes than Barry did over his career.<\/p>\n
In total, Barry spent 54,439 minutes on the pitch compared to 40,408 for Milner.<\/p>\n
However, it is about what you do with that time playing and Milner has certainly contributed plenty when he has played – scoring 56 goals and providing 90 assists. <\/p>\n
Those are statistics that compare favourably with Barry’s record of 53 goals and 64 assists.<\/p>\n
Milner’s longevity is certainly impressive.<\/p>\n
Almost half the players to have played in the Premier League since it was formed in 1992-93 (5,094) have either played alongside or against Milner.<\/p>\n
Since his debut in the 2002-03 campaign, he has faced 99.9% of the 876 other players to have played at least 100 games in the last 24 Premier League seasons.<\/p>\n
The only one of the above who has so far avoided facing Milner is Brentford<\/a>‘s Nathan Collins, but that could change when the Bees play Brighton<\/a> on 21 February.<\/p>\n Plenty of Premier League managers have also become well acquainted with Milner over the decades. Including caretakers, he has made a Premier League appearance under 21 different managers \u2013 two more than any other player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Should Milner equal Barry’s record on Wednesday evening, he will do so having played significantly fewer minutes than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292166,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-292165","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292165"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292165\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
