David James
England’s Number one joined the
hammers from Aston Villa for 3.25 million pounds under Glenn Roeder. He had
previously played with Liverpool and Watford and is rated very highly by the new
England boss Sven Goran Eriksson. However things haven't always been cushdy for
'Jamo'. Computer game addictions troubled the 6''5 friendly giant, and some
blamed this for bad form whilst at Liverpool earning him the nickname 'Calamity
James' after the Beano comic star. But with his 'illness' behind him he still
continues to prove a great player between the sticks
Stephen Bywater
Young Stephen Bywater was picked up
from Rochdale when he was a trainee. Since then, although he has only made a
few appearances for the first team, he has claimed the rightful position of
West Ham number 2 to David James. Tipped by many to be a future England star,
Stephen is a regular member of the West Ham bench and also for the England
Under 21's.
