# Aston Villa: Fans reminisce over former player James Milner

**A lot of Aston Villa fans are reminiscing over former player James Milner, after his 2009/10 season highlights, in which he won PFA Young Player of the year whilst at the club, were posted on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/avfcgoals/status/1243545181909069825?s=20).**

Milner played 123 times across six seasons for the club, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-milner/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/3333), scoring 22 times and assisting 25 goals. Since then, the player has had a very successful career, being part of the Manchester City squad that won the club’s first-ever Premier League title, via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-city/erfolge/verein/281).

He then moved to Liverpool, per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-milner/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/3333), where he recently won the Champions League in 2019 whilst also making 61 appearances for England.

Even at the age of 34, he is still a vital cog in Jurgen Klopp’s squad, who see themselves at the top of the League and on course to win their first Premier League title.

He is a versatile player under the German manager, and even fills in at right-back if necessary, via [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7606655/Liverpools-Mr-Versatile-James-Milner-starts-right-switching-left.html).
