"Ex GK David James, who had spells at Liverpool, Man City, Pompey & Villa, is being forced to sell his collection of 150 odd footie shirts because he´s bankrupt after blowing 20 million quid ? Serious ? how ? really ? He split from his gold digger... sorry wife in 2005 & has had crippling debts. Even if she took 10 he still should of had the sense to work out how the rest should last him the rest of his life. Playing in India at the mo as player/manager, maybe becoming a manager will keep him above water." Found this on another forum sad if true
I don't feel much sympathy with him to be honest. He treated his ex wife Tanya James (I bet he wishes he'd married the other Tayna James!) pretty badly. She got a fair settlement, 3 million out of the 6 million he was estimated to have at the time, so he shouldn't be using that as an excuse.
