da bet esporte: The midfielder scored 22 times in 126 appearances for Villa, and it would be fair to say that he quickly became a favourite with the club’s supporters.
Milner, who is valued at £10.8m by transfermarkt.co.uk, eventually joined Manchester City in 2010, before making the move to Liverpool.
Later this month, the now 32-year-old will be a part of the Liverpool team that takes on Spanish giants Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
Milner’s recent form has even led to calls that he should make himself available for the England squad that will travel to the 2018 World Cup this summer.
The Villa supporters still absolutely love the Englishman, and they are hopeful that he will decide to return to Villa Park before hanging up his boots.
