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.

 

Bids for his possessions, which also include exercise and DJ equipment, vinyl records, books and toys, are being accepted from 6 to 18 November.

 

Shirts including an England home kit signed by the team, and a bright pink Portsmouth goalkeeper's jersey, are expected to sell for upwards of £30-50 each.

Mystery:

 

Is he broke or is it going to charity?

 

Mystery solved:

His jerseys are expected to sell for upwards of £30-50 each? That must be a typo.

There's loads of pretty worthless stuff in there - red and black tracksuit top, Watford shirt no number 1988-91 issue etc.

I think this is more common than some think. My accountant has a few well known ex-players on his books (most retired in the last 10-15 years before the real big money came in) and bar one all are in some sort of trouble due to poor investment decisions.
