Wow! James Milner, 36, reportedly flew Gary Barlow, 51, to Cheshire via helicopter for a surprise performance at his wife Amy Fletcher

James Milner, 36, reportedly flew Gary Barlow, 51, to Cheshire from London via helicopter for a surprise performance at his wife Amy Fletcher’s 40th birthday party earlier this month.

The Liverpool FC player pulled out all the stops for Amy’s big bash, booking the Take That star to sing some of the band’s greatest hits at the secret concert.

A source told The Sun: ‘Amy loves Take That and James wanted to make her day with a surprise she could only dream of.

‘She couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Gary walking through the door. You could tell James was relieved he pulled it off without her finding out.’

The publication also claims that Gary belted out some of Take That’s biggest hits, including Back For Good and Could It Be Magic. 

MailOnline has contacted Gary Barlow and James Milner’s representatives for comment.

Back in June, James resolved all doubts about his footballing future by signing a new 12-month contract with Liverpool.

His longevity is remarkable. He made his Premier League debut for Leeds on November 10, 2002 and he will mark the 20th anniversary of that milestone as a key member of Jurgen Klopp‘s squad.

Liverpool’s manager was a driving force behind the decision to ensure James was not lost to another Premier League rival – the former England international was not short of offers – or did not feel the need to pursue a new challenge overseas.

The terms of his new deal have been reduced but his importance within the squad should not be underestimated, as he made 39 appearances last season and scored in both the penalty shootouts that led his side to completing a domestic Cup double.

It is almost seven years to the day since James’ arrival at Anfield was announced, with then manager Brendan Rodgers a driving force in recruiting him from Manchester City after his contract there had expired.

The sportman has gone on to prove himself arguably the best free transfer in Liverpool’s history, making 199 Premier League appearances so far and winning six major trophies including the domestic title and Champions League.

Legend: Jurgen Klopp was the driving force behind having James add another 12 months
