Q: How did you start off playing football?
A: I think my dad introduced football to me when I was about 4. We used to have a big garden so he would set up goals and I would have to kick with both feet from a very young age.
Q: As a child were you good at any other sports?
A: That is the first real sport that I took up and as I got older I was introduced to more sports including rugby, which was great as my school got to all of the national finals, and I was lucky enough to get the chance to play rugby league at Twickenham in the final and score a full length try.
Q: Did you play in any other positions (football)?
A: I've always varied between a striker and a winger and I joined a local club called Widnes Wolves when I was about 7 and it was from here that I got picked up at Bolton.
Q: Who did you inspire to be like as a child?
A: I always looked up to David Beckham when I was younger as he was the famous face of football, however now I aspire to be like Cristiano Ronaldo as his style of play is very like mine, he is a fantastic player and is my favourite player now.
Q: Have you had much interest in you since your release from Bolton?
A: James did not answer this question but the interest in him is obviously very high as many different rumours have been made about him and after his time at Derby he got noticed a lot more and got picked up by Blackpool and scored against Everton on his debut.
Q: Finally, what do you make about Clough not signing you after all the praise that you recieved from Derby supporters:
A: James told me to use my opinion in this question as he did not want to answer it, I believe that it was a stupid decision not to sign him. The only reason that we did not sign him was because we signed Coutts and Jacobs and after seeing James play in the two friendlys that he did take part in he looked better than both of them while alsos being younger. Bad decision by Nigel in my opinion.
I would like to thank James for taking time out of his busy schedule to answer my questions.
