    This is a Dzeko Watch, not to be confused with a Geko watch, if you are looking for a Geko watch, I think you need to find rec.reptiles.geko.


    Anyhow, I was trying to watch a game, possibly even a CONCACAF Cup game,
    the other day, and they were instead showing highlights of an old game
    from 2010 or some sort of year between Liverpool and Man City. And who
    was playing, not only Dzeko, but a lad named James Milner as well. Now
    you would think a game played 15 years ago, the players must be retired.
    But no, Dzeko just scored twice today for Schalke and I think Milner
    is still getting minutes at Brighton.

    Milner debuted in November 2002, and is both the
    second-youngest and second-oldest goal scorer
    in Premier League history.

    Stayed on the bench today though.

    Played today and equalled Gareth BarryrCys PL
    appearance record.


    A lot of fun facts in this article:

    https://theanalyst.com/articles/james-milner-premier-league-appearance-record-stats

    - "Just over 5,000 players have played in the Premier
    League since it was formed in 1992-93 (5,094). Of
    those, 49% have played in a game either alongside or against Milner"
    - "Milner has started a Premier League match
    alongside players born in every single year from 1968
    through to 2007."
