Player name: David JamesPosition: GoalkeeperClub: PortsmouthDate of Birth: 01 August 1970Place of Birth: WelwynStarts: 26Subs: 8Caps: 34Height: 1.94mWeight: 95kgNationality: EnglandSquad Number: 1Ex Club: Manchester CityI won my first senior England cap against Mexico in 1997 and for a long spell following David Seaman's retirement, made the England ’keeper’s jersey my own. I had two super games against Turkey to help England qualify for Euro 2004 and moved to Manchester City to test Myself in the Premiership once more in the run-up to the Championship in Portugal, where he was an ever-present.For years I was a squad player behind David Seaman, but following the 2002 World Cup I've been England's first choice goalkeeper.I stayed England's number one despite relegation with West Ham United last season, but a move to Manchester City put me back in the Premiership.My size makes me an imposing figure and my shot-stopping and reflexes have always been excellent.Even so, doubts will always remain about my judgement on coming for crosses and my occasional blunders, although these do seem to happen less often.The veteran's fading hopes of remaining England's No1 finally died with my mistakes during the 4-1 loss in Denmark last August. I had Manchester City goalkeeper conceded four goals as a substitute, blaming my biggest howler on failing to warm up properly. I am imposing figure, still blends acrobatic stops with impressive reach, but the 35-year-old's high-profile blunders eroded the confidence of national boss Sven-Göran Eriksson and probably England's defence.
