I spent an afternoon this week training with England ‘keeper David James, sponsored by Energy firm E.On, David’s sponsors. Loaded.co.uk hammered together a little video to go out online. It’s notable really, for a surprisingly acrobatic save by myself (listen in the background for David James yelping, ‘great save!’) and the recording of my wrist being sprained, live!
I used to play in goal, but never really amounted to much, but I really enjoyed a day’s training at the Pompey training ground, with David’s coach, “Colesy,” who I think was quite relieved to have someone along so keen to learn. Colesy taught me how to bat balls over the bar with ‘the top hand,’ which really paid off. And David gave me his gloves, to say sorry for killing my wrist. A good day.
