David James is the latest special guest to join John Aldridge, James Pearce and Peter Schriewersmann at Hotel Anfield and what a cracker of an episode we have lined up for you. David James had a notable career at Liverpool FC as the club's first-choice goalkeeper during much of the 1990s, known for his athleticism, shot-stopping ability, and occasional high-profile errors. He joined Liverpool from Watford in July 1992 for £1 million, a significant fee for a goalkeeper at the time. James made his debut in the 1992–93 season, during the inaugural Premier League campaign. Over the next seven years, he was a regular presence in goal, making 277 appearances for the club in all competitions. James was part of a Liverpool side that had talented players but often underachieved in terms of major silverware. Despite this, he helped the team to: 1995 League Cup victory, keeping a clean sheet in the final against Bolton Wanderers. A runner-up finish in the Premier League in the 1995–96 season. His time at Liverpool coincided with the "Spice Boys" era — a period remembered as much for off-pitch personalities as on-pitch results. While James showed flashes of brilliance with his reflex saves and aerial presence, he was also criticized for lapses in concentration, particularly in the mid-90s. In 1999, with the arrival of new manager Gérard Houllier and increased competition for the goalkeeper spot, James left Liverpool to join Aston Villa. David James was a talented and influential figure for the club during a transitional period in its history. #liverpoolfc #lfc #anfield #ynwa Follow our socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aldomeets/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AldoMeets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aldomeets Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aldomeets Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aldo-meets-podcast/id1704005684
