David James, born 1 August 1970, made over 1,000 career appearances and sits fifth on the all-time Premier League appearance list with 572 matches. He held the Premier League record of 169 clean sheets until Petr Čech passed it, and still holds the record for most penalties saved in the competition with 13. He started at Watford and played in the Premier League for Liverpool, Aston Villa, West Ham United, Manchester City and Portsmouth, winning the League Cup with Liverpool in 1995 and the FA Cup with Portsmouth in 2008. In 2010, aged 39, he became the oldest goalkeeper to appear in an FA Cup final. He won 53 England caps and was first choice at Euro 2004 and the 2010 World Cup.
This page gathers everything in the catalogue printed with the surname James, and most of it is not David James. The listing mixes in basketball jerseys, Real Madrid and Colombia shirts printed James, Swansea and Manchester United shirts, and Chelsea shirts — all different players who happen to share the name.
His own shirts are easy to isolate once you know the pattern: look for goalkeeper shirts numbered 1. The ones in this catalogue are Liverpool from the mid and late 1990s, West Ham United from 2001–03 and Manchester City from 2005–07 — each of them a GK shirt with the number 1. Anything outfield, anything numbered other than 1, and anything from a basketball franchise belongs to someone else. Condition across the whole listing runs from 3/10 to 10/10.
