According to the world of Twitter and the parody account @BoringMilner, Manchester City star James Milner is the world's dullest footballer.

Now, he's proven just that, in a parody video released by City to show precisely how the 28-year-old celebrates his Christmas.

Milner and former City kitman Les 'Chappy' Chapman take up at Milner's Christmas 'home' to open his presents from other members of the Milner family - with suitable names such as Auntie J, Uncle James and Millie.

Opening gifts which are exclusively wrapped in plain brown paper as he "doesn't like too much colour", Milner sits at a table featuring reading material such as literature on Greek sculpture, calorie counting and features a picture of him with the Queen and Prince Charles - "It was an amazing day. As you can see everyone was having a whale of a time."

Gifts include a box of PG Tips "bit foreign isn't it?" moulds for making perfectly spherical dumplings a white rubber, and socks for five days of the week: "What about Saturday and Sunday?"

There's also a "snow white" Christmas card from close pal Gareth Barry.

Make sure to check it all out above. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
