London: James Milner set a new record of 654 Premier League appearances when the 40-year-old started for Brighton in their 2-0 win at Brentford on Saturday.
Milner moves ahead of former Aston Villa and Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry.
After breaking into the Leeds team and becoming the youngest ever Premier League goalscorer at the time as a 16-year-old, Milner also enjoyed spells at Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Liverpool.
He has won three Premier League titles during his time at City and Liverpool, as well as two FA Cups and the Champions League.
Asked for the secret of his remarkable longevity, Milner said: "It's the drive and hunger, you want to be the best every day whether it's game or training.
