This article became a good aricle almost three years ago and since then the subject's career has greatly escalated with him playing for his country at the world cup.

I think this aricle needs another proper review to make sure it covers everything.

Lead

• "Milner's talent in football, cricket, and long-distance running was recognised when he was a child. He represented his school in these sports and played football for amateur teams from Rawdon and Horsforth. " doesn't read great.
• "only" POV
• it reads like he stills plays for Newcastle. please expand/rewrite last section.

Early life

• what's "11 GCES"?
• "Milner took as much interest in watching football as he did playing it. " OR
• "Peter and Lesley," unimportant
• "played for the Republic of Ireland at under-14 level" doesnt match infobox
• "against Italy, Czech Republic and Brazil, scoring a goal against Brazil.[8]" reads poorly

Club career

• More pov:
  • with a deft first touch of the ball and manoeuvre
  • Milner continued to impress
• ^[who?]:
  • He could be deemed a traditional English winger.
• the whole style of play reads really poorly.

References

• Don't mix date formats, keep to DD MONTH YYYY

Decent article. I might do some more, but that should get something going. Consider reviewing History of FC Barcelona. Sandman888 (talk) ^{Latest FAC} 19:55, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
