詹姆斯·米尔纳宣布结束职业足球生涯，这位40岁的老将留下了普超历史出场王的纪录。他以658场英格兰顶级联赛出场数告别绿茵场，超出加雷斯·巴里保持的原纪录5场。（原文出处：James Milner has announced his retirement from professional football... an unparalleled 658 games in England's top flight, surpassing Gareth Barry's previous benchmark by five）
米尔纳是仅有的四位普超600场俱乐部成员中的领跑者。巴里以653场紧随其后，覆盖了阿斯顿维拉、曼城、埃弗顿和西布朗姆维奇的岁月。瑞恩·吉格斯为曼联出战632场，弗兰克·兰帕德在切尔西、西汉姆和曼城留下了609场的足迹。值得注意的是，没有门将触及600场大关。大卫·詹姆斯以572场位列历史第五。目前，布伦特福德的乔丹·亨德森以463场成为现役普超出场最多的球员，在阿什利·扬今夏退役后接过了这面旗帜。（原文出处：Milner now stands at the pinnacle of Premier League longevity, leading an elite group of four players... Barry, with 653 games... Ryan Giggs 632... Frank Lampard 609... no goalkeeper has reached the 600-game milestone... David James ranking fifth overall... Ashley Young also retiring this summer, Brentford's Jordan Henderson... is now the leading active Premier League player）
这位中场多面手的生涯起点在利兹。他在家乡俱乐部出场48次，并以16岁356天的年纪成为当时普超最年轻的进球者，至今仍保持着第二年轻的纪录。此后，他代表纽卡斯尔出战94场，为阿斯顿维拉征战100场。他的巅峰期在曼城和利物浦度过，身披曼城球衣出场147次并两夺普超冠军，在利物浦的230场征程中再添一座联赛奖杯。2023年夏，他转会布莱顿，在告别赛季前累计出场39次，但2024至25赛季因伤仅出战4场。（原文出处：Milner's journey began at his boyhood club Leeds... youngest goalscorer... 94 times for Newcastle and 100 for Aston Villa... Manchester City, where he made 147 appearances and secured two Premier League titles, and Liverpool, where he played 230 games and added a third title... 39 appearances for Brighton... the 2024-25 campaign was curtailed by injuries, limiting him to just four games）
从数据上看，米尔纳在各项俱乐部赛事中攻入56球，并送出90次助攻，位列普超历史助攻榜第十位。巴里以54339分钟的普超出场时间排名第一，米尔纳以40876分钟位列第十二。吉格斯、卡拉格和杰拉德是仅有的三位为单一俱乐部出场超500次的球员，而巴里至今仍保持着单支球队——阿斯顿维拉的普超出场纪录：365场。（原文出处：Milner scored 56 goals across his various clubs and registered an impressive 90 assists, placing him 10th on the all-time Premi... Barry holds the record for minutes played in the Premier League with 54,439, Milner ranks 12th with 40,876... Giggs, Carragher, and Gerrard remain the only players to have made over 500 appearances for a single club... Barry still holds Aston Villa's Premier League appearance record with 365）
