FACTFILE Born: 01/08/70 Position: Goalkeeper Club: Manchester City Caps: 24

Occupies the number one jersey, having taken over from David Seaman for both country and club.

James moved from West Ham to Manchester City in January to fill the void left by Seaman's retirement.

And the switch also saw his return to Premiership football after the Hammers were relegated to Division One at the end of the 2003/2004 season.

He produced steady displays against both Macedonia and Liechtenstein despite playing behind an uncertain defence.

His fabulous late save in the crucial win against Turkey at the Stadium of Light last season lingers in the memory.
