Not only does Cubo sponsor the Premier League (ish) big hitters AFC Shillington Under 16′s, but we also badge David James’ away kit – the ex-England number one, who now plies his trade at Bristol City. And before you ask, our CEO is a City fan – that’s why.
Part of the bountiful package for being a sponsor is a chance to meet the giant of a man. It was always going to be a fleeting visit, and so in preparation our esteemed CEO Kerry Simpson prepped his one question, and prepared to meet his team’s last line of defence.
Kerry: “So David, in your long and successful career, what’s given you the most pleasure in being a footballer?”
Jamo: (Long pause for thought) “Everything really. I just love it. I’m sort of a trainspotter … but for football.”
So there you have it. The tabloids might have Ryan Giggs’s philandering and Gazza’s all-day benders, but we’ve got an exclusive on David James’ trainspotting-esque love of football. You heard it here first.
Next week, we ask Luis Figo why on earth he did the Just For Men ads…
