Former England goalkeeper David James is to auction hundreds of items of football memorabilia collected during his career. James, who played for Liverpool, Aston Villa, West Ham, Manchester City and Portsmouth, was declared bankrupt in May. Among the items being sold through Kent-based auctioneer Hilco are 150 signed shirts, shorts and match balls. Also being sold is James's customised Astra van and Raleigh Chopper bikes. The 44-year-old won 53 England caps during a career that also saw spells at Watford, Bristol City and Bournemouth and is currently goalkeeper and manager of Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters FC.

That'd be about 25k max per year if you retire by 60. I live alone and couldn't get close to living off that 

I've no sympathy for him they live the dream then s.punk it up the wall. Cook him who's helping out ordinary families who work and still rely on foodbanks because of the pittance of a pay they have to live off. Fooking Tories I hate the lot of them. And before anybody starts lecturing me I have been there

The average uk salary is £21,000. Just noticed that you live in California so 25k is around 40K dollars not that the us economy means much 

Too many visits to Toni & Guy's.
