There have been many moments in history when the English National football team has struggled to find a consistent goalkeeper. However, this team is still one of the best in the world, and by going to 1xBet - Kenya betting site fans can wager on all its matches.

David James is a former English goalkeeper who played 53 times for the English national squad between 1997 and 2010. Also, he had a professional career that lasted between 1988 and 2014.

During the decade of the 2000s, after the retirement of names like David Seamand and Nigel Martyn, a new keeper was needed for the English team. James seemed like a natural choice. He has had a long career on many teams across England. For this reason, different managers of the Three Lions decided to give him a chance. The betting site 1xBet Kenya is the best place to wager on everything related to English football.

  • Liverpool;​
  • Aston Villa;​
  • West Ham United;​
