- 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.

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 - Sport
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?
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.
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 🙇🏼♀️💓💞💖 🏆
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
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.
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 😂
A great role model, our Millie, you just gotta love him.
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
James Milner. Integral part of our success under klopp ❤️
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
As a Liverpool fan, I loved this interview! Always fascinating hearing more from the experiences of our players
The ultimate professional...really would love to see Millie return to LFC as part of the coaching team. YNWA❤
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.
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 👏
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.
love seeing him play for brighton hes been a great bit of business and has made a great impact for us up the seagulls
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. 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 👍

Mr Dependable ⚽👑
Best free signing EVER
Jeff you’re a national treasure mate! Looking forward to listening 👍🏻 also Milner what a top pro, MOT
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
The only guy who could wear the no 7 shirt for Liverpool ❤
a true legend and more importantly a gentleman
Jeff Stellings own podcast! Finally! Can listen to you all day Jeff

You're a natural, Jeff 👏
13:16 Alberto moreno made Robertson’s career, honestly moreno made Robertson look like messi
Great interview
Great interview.
A brilliant footballer and excellent 👏 person
Nice interview
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!
He will be back at Liverpool as a coach for sure. A brilliant signing for Liverpool. One great professional who leads by example.
loving these podcasts!
👏👏
Top man!
James Milner will be an amazing manager. The viking true warrior...estellar genetics.
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 ⚽️👑
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.
Good pod Jeff
James Milner a king
Brighton Kitman will be gutted with that number 6 peeling off! :) Great player, great interview.

Love jeff love james but cant deal with another pod
How on earth has Unbelievable Jeff only got 3600 subscribers? Legend
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 😄👊 🥂
Mr versatile. Definitely goes down as a Liverpool legend.
“There’s only 1 jimmy milner” 💪🫡
Loved him at Lfc wonderful player ynwa Millie
I miss Milner, wish Milner was still playing for Liverpool YNWA 👍
The Benjamin Button of football amazing career 👏👏
Can see him being England manager when his done ✔️ great professional
Really amazing that James said to only speak Spanish at home so as to practice it, even with his kids.
James.love.Mr.Reliable
Quality player for us. YNWA Milly.
We talk about Messi and Ronaldo when referring to longevity but Milner is in the same category.
Legend ynwa
This could be a really promising series.
Jeff let loose.
Given the news today about Klopp interesting what Jimmy says at 6.39.
Very hardworking player❤ynwa milner
Like this.
Cheers Eric 👍
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.
In a tough game it was 20 mins to go if klopp brought on milner I knew it we were good.
Will be back at Leeds one day, coaching role it seems now
Probably the most fit 35 YO in the game. :)
What time is this interview at ? it seems like your in an old pub the krays ran
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?
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) 💯🔥
So what happened Kris I don't know Jeff 😂😂😂
Not-so-boring after all it seems 😂
Leeds lad 🟡⚪️🔵
De Zerbi to Liverpool
god forbid if i ever see him at a starbucks
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! 😊
Milner will be a better trainer than both Lamps and Gerrard

"Coming up" is redundant. You aren't doing telly .you're spoiling the next bit.
