'I don't like that' - Joe Hart disagrees with perception of LFC player ahead of summer transfer

Joe Hart believes James Milner does not receive the credit he deserves as a footballer.

Team-mates at the Etihad Stadium for five years, the pair won four trophies together

One person Milner's impact is not lost on is Hart, who has voiced his disapproval over the lack of respect the veteran midfielder is often shown.

Hart:

“Not many [teams] have James Milner’s, that’s how important he is

"I was thinking this the other day, he’s a good winger, a very good full-back, an amazing centre-mid. He even played up front for us for a patch and he was wicked.

"He’s talented and has been about since he was 16. he’s got skill: shooting with his left and right, crossing, distribution, engine and tackling. He’s a wicked player. I don’t like that he’s just known as a bit of a Gareth Barry, with 700-odd appearances, he’s a bit of a legend. No. He’s good, a really good footballer.”
