Liverpool legend John Aldridge has paid tribute to James Milner after his final game at Anfield as a Reds player.
Milner will leave Liverpool when his contract expires this summer and featured in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Aldridge wrote for the Liverpool Echo: "I thought it was a pity James Milner's departure was somewhat understated slightly because he's been absolutely tremendous. As an ex-player, you can't understate his importance in the dressing room, to the rest of the squad. He's a manager's dream.
"Myself and some of the other Liverpool legends - John Barnes, Alan Kennedy, Ian Callaghan included - had our end-of-season get-together on Sunday afternoon, and you look around and you think Milner would have fitted into our era seamlessly.
"We were talking about Milner in particular and every one of us was just in awe of what he's achieved at the club. He's the last of a dying breed of old-fashioned footballers."
