How often does David James relive his cameo up front for Manchester City? Why did he fall out with Dimitar Berbatov in India? And which England cricket captain was he said to resemble by Leeds fans? All are discussed this week as the former Liverpool, Aston Villa and England keeper joins Kammy and Ben at St George’s Park. He takes us back to the start and tells how he went from standing around in the middle of a pitch to being England’s number one at a World Cup. He explains why he joined Watford when he was a Luton fan - but did he really wear their socks under his Watford kit? He also explains how he had little idea how big Liverpool were - and how famous Ian Rush was - when he signed for them. He also talks about why he still fancies management, the frustrations of applying for jobs and whether the Rooney Rule can make a difference. Elsewhere, he reveals whether he really was approached to be an illustrator for DC Comics, how close he was to joining the NFL, and how a chat with a stranger helped him during a difficult time during his career."
