We're not here to compare them.

It's a great record for both of them for now.

Gareth played far more minutes, by the way, because a lot of James Milner's appearances have come off the bench.

So I think there's a lot more minutes from Gareth Barry on the pitch.

So we take nothing away, obviously, from James Milner, but he's slightly a different career, right?

And just before people start screaming at their screen or their phone or wherever they're listening, life in football existed before the Premier League.

Allegedly.

So Gareth Barry and James Milner are eighth in the overall most top flight appearances in history of English football.

Just for the purists here.

Yeah, without a doubt.

We are purists, producer Graham as well.

But Peter Shilton is the top of that list with 848.

848.

I know he's a goalkeeper.

It makes no difference, man.

Makes no difference.

All-time appearances in English top-flight football.

Then you've got John Hollins with 714, which is also crazy.

And then I think Ray Clements, I think, might be third or something like that.

So, yeah.
