Is Prutton still the record holder?

David Prutton is the surprising holder of the record for most appearances without earning a full cap, with 25, but James Milner is closing fast. He has 21 caps so far and will still be eligible for the 2009 European Championship, giving him a good chance of overhauling the overall Under-21 *appearance‑record holders, Gareth Barry and Jamie Carragher, who have 27 each.
