James: 'David Frost saved my career'
Well, kinda.
David 'Don't call me Calamity' James has confessed to the BBC that the Denmark game (you know, the one where he flapped around widely, and let in 4 goals in 45 minutes) gave him the 'kick up the backside' he needed to knuckle down to training in an effort to get rid of a few of those schoolboy errors that kept cropping up.
Slightly strangely, a certain David Frost also set alarm bells ringing:
"I was sitting in a hotel watching an England game with Sir David Frost, who was an all right bloke who knows his football.
"But although that might be something to tell the grandchildren about, it was not where I wanted to be,"
Seriously though, as a Villa fan I think critics can be overtly harsh on poor Mr. James - he's an excellent shot stopper, and calamities aside, and decent all round keeper. He also seems like a decent bloke to boot.
However, I just don't have the same faith in him between the sticks as I do with Robinson.
Hopefully David can change that, but I wouldn't hold my breath...
