Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Former England goalkeeper David James has been forced to auction off hundreds of items, including football memorabilia, turntables, and a petrol driven chainsaw.
James, who won 53 caps for the national team and played for teams such as Liverpool, Aston Villa and Portsmouth, was declared bankrupt in May despite earning around £20m during his career.
The public will be able to bid for items through Kent-based auctioneer Hilco from 6 to 18 November.
It has been reported that James built up the debts as a result of his divorce from ex-wife Tanya in 2005.
Hilco say that the auction offers "Unique football memorabilia and personal effects from one of England’s most iconic goalkeepers".
Some of the football memorabilia on sale among the 224 items is the goalkeeper shirt he wore in the 4-1 thrashing by Germany in the 2010 World Cup second round, an England shirt signed by Wayne Rooney, and the shirt he wore for Portsmouth in the 2008 FA Cup final.
The 44-year-old is currently manager of India Super League side Kerala Blasters FC.
