In a recent Q&A, former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra named James Milner, the veteran ex-Liverpool player, as the 'most annoying' opponent he ever faced. Evra, known for his attacking style, found Milner's relentless defending particularly frustrating, stating, 'Even if I was going in the toilet, he was going to follow me.' Their rivalry began in the 2006/07 season when Milner played for Newcastle, and they faced off a total of 21 times during their careers. Milner, now 40 years old, is still active in the Premier League with Brighton & Hove Albion and recently became the league's all-time record appearance-maker, surpassing Gareth Barry with 657 games. Throughout his career, Milner has been a key figure for clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool, contributing to multiple titles, including the Premier League and the Champions League.
