Speaking with the Sunday Times, James denied a story that claimed he asked his manager at Liverpool, Roy Evans, how much he would be fined for missing training and got out his chequebook to pay in advance.

"Rubbish," he said. "I was approached to do a photo-shoot for Armani and asked the gaffer for permission. I flew out to Seville one night and flew back the next day, so I didn't miss any training. The second time I went, for a catwalk job in Milan, I did the same thing and Armani laid on a private jet to get me back at the required time. I asked for permission both times and it was never an issue. If the gaffer had said no, I wouldn't have gone.

"For me, it was massive in terms of exposure because no footballer had done it before. I did it for the experience, not for money. I got less than a week's wages. The biggest effect it had was to make me big-headed. It didn't impact on my football but it did as a person. I was suddenly big time: 'Look at me, I'm an Armani model, I'm a geezer'. I started going to nightclubs, I became a big-headed t**t."

Armani just turned him into a t**t wearing nice clothes.

It's taken him 11 years to admit that???

Maybe it should be - JAMES 'Armani turned me into a dimwitted t**t.'
