INFO:
Milne is a former right-half. His professional career began in 1956 at Preston North End. In 1960 he transferred to Liverpool where he had his best time, making 282 appearances in seven seasons, scoring 18 goals. He retired in 1972 after playing some seasons at Blackpool and Wigan Athletic. He capped for England 14 times in the biennium 1963-64.
Instrumental in Liverpool's midfield during the 1960s, Milne was distinguished for his uncomplicated but skillful style of play that consisted of solid technique, good speed, excellent through passes, accurate long balls, great unselfishness in support of his teammates. He orchestrated the play, feeding his forwards with golden symmetries. He was short but strong, hardworking, gifted with good footwork and endless energy. He was a driving force in the team as he gave high effort for the entire game. He wasn't known as one of the best tacklers, but some praised him from that standpoint due to his uncanny accuracy, explosiveness and positional sense for interception. So, whenever he made a tackle there was a chance that he would take the ball off his opponent. He was able in defending against the opposition midfield, and sometimes he dropped back alongside Willie Stevenson in support of Ron Yeats. Milne covering for Yeats though wasn't always an ideal solution given that he wasn't good in heading away crosses. Also, he liked pushing forward when he had the chance, although he didn't have a very good shot.
