James Milner

It was incredible, really, and one of the all-time incredible Premier League moments.

Is that one of the best moments of your career?

Yeah, I think it has to be up there.

I think in terms of

any time you win a trophy, any time you win a trophy as big as the Premier League, you know, I think at the time you're like, you see other teams win the Premier League and you don't think, you know, you're aiming for that, but you never actually think you might achieve it.

So to do it and do it in that manner in that instant was pretty incredible.

Two Premier Leagues, an FA Cup, a League Cup.

Yeah, amazing time, loved it.

Again, it was, like I said, the decision to go there and try and help start an area of success there and to be able to achieve that in a dressing room of players that were filled with talent and multi-million pound signings coming through the door every transfer window and, you know, you get back

knock down the pecking order and have to earn your stripes again and that was always a big challenge but one that I feel like I always did pretty well and always managed to find my way back into the team and be a big part of it and learnt so much from the dressing room and the players we had, Vinnie, company, incredible captain and we had a fantastic English core, you know, Joe Hart and Gareth Barry.

Joleyn Lescott, incredible sort of core that drove that group on.

And then, you know, your Carlos Tevez's, your Sergio Agüero's, David Silva, Edin Dzeko, you know, Yaya Torre, the list goes on and on.

I think it takes you to the next level as a player and I was playing at England at that time and you're playing with world-class players every single day and testing yourself and pushing yourself and big personalities as well.

You have to grow both on the field and off the field.

Yeah, I think, you know, it came up when I was at the last stage of City, I think, or a few years.

And, you know, at first it was like trying to find out how it was and then it was like, oh, well.

And, you know, I never actually minded it, I feel like.

If people thought it was boring, I was doing a good job at keeping separate.

I think you have to do media, you have to do certain things, but not all of me is for everybody.

There's the football side and there's certain things and the rest is private and it's for me.
