If James Milner wants to put an end to people poking fun at his ‘boring’ personality, he’ll need to come up with better jokes than this.
After the Liverpool midfielder’s parody Twitter account congratulated Wayne Rooney on his new England scoring record, Rooney revealed what the real Milner said to him during the celebrations.
I was really pleased that Wayne Rooney scored to became England's leading goal scorer so I said well done Wayne & he said thank you, James.

It might be a little hard to make out from the video (play at 1.17) but Rooney reveals: “When I came back, James Milner actually said ‘Congratulations, record goalscorer. Now get in midfield with me!'”
We guess you just had to be there…
