Liverpool veteran James Milner says playing for Sir Bobby Robson at Newcastle United was a special moment in his career.

Milner began his career at Leeds United, in 2002-03, before moving further north to Newcastle in 2004.

He spoke to the Athletic of his brief time working under Sir Bobby Robson: "The disappointment is that I didn't get to work with him longer.

"It's amazing how much I remember about him because we only had a couple of months together.

"That just shows what a great manager, great guy and legend he was."
