David James pockets thousands from memorabilia auction

Former Premier League goalkeeper David James has managed to rack up thousands of pounds after selling football memorabilia in an online auction.

The 44-year-old, who went bankrupt in May, placed a number of goods up for sale earlier this month via auctioneer Hilco.

According to The Mirror, James's England shirt from the 2002 World Cup 1-0 win over Argentina was sold for £672, while a Liverpool and Portsmouth shirt, both worn by the former shot-stopper, went for around £160 and £480 respectively.

As well as football memorabilia, an unused Raleigh Chopper bicycle was sold for more than £1,000 following interest from 26 bidders.

James currently plays for and coaches Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters FC.
