James Milner is evidently a man after our own hearts at the moment.
One of our most successful products in recent years, he’s on the verge of a Champions League final with Liverpool as they face Real Madrid tomorrow.
He’s always been humble and kept his feet on the ground despite his successes, though, and he’s also always been well aware of what’s been going on with our club.
Indeed, in an interview with the Times he’s spoken about a lot of subjects but this bit about Leeds is all we really needed to read:

This is fantastic. Let’s take a look at the reaction on Twitter to it:

The Verdict
I really like Milner and think he’s a proper Leeds lad.
He’s worked hard and never let fame go to his head whilst he’s also got a bit of banter about him which is always nice.
Certainly, I hope he wins the Champions League tomorrow and, in the future, having him back in White would be a fine sight to see.
