This young Scunthorpe United trainee broke into the first team in the midst of an injury crisis in March 2001 and had an excellent debut against high-fliers Brighton & Hove Albion.
Given a run of four matches, he certainly didn't look out of his depth and was rather unlucky to be left out when more experienced players became available.
James is a solidly built central defender who can also play at full back.
