James Milner has broken the Premier League's all-time appearance record having surpassed Gareth Barry's tally of 653.
With plenty of games left this season, barring injury, it is all but certain that the 40-year-old man will move further clear of his former Aston Villa and Manchester City teammate.
Milner's 653rd appearance was in Brighton's Premier League match against Villa on Feb. 11, when he came off the bench to replace Carlos Baleba after 22 minutes. He surpassed Barry after being named in Brighton's starting XI for Brighton's match against Brentford in west London on Saturday.
Behind Milner and Barry on the all-time list sits Ryan Giggs (632 appearances) in third. Frank Lampard (609) and David James (572) complete the top five.
After them, Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer (544), Gary Speed (535), Emile Heskey (516), Jamie Carragher (508) and Phil Neville (505) round out the top-10.
So far this season, Milner has appeared in 14 Premier League games with one goal and an assist to his name.
He made his Premier League debut in November 2002, playing for Leeds against West Ham. At the time, aged 16 years and 309 days, he was the Premier League's second-youngest player.
Milner has played for six clubs in total, moving from his hometown Leeds to Newcastle before also playing for Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool and now Brighton.
