The family of a late Dominican politician is claiming that he is the real dad of the Portsmouth goalkeeper David James and they have released a photo to AfroSaxonHeat to prove it.
The family member who wants to remain anonymous spoke exclusively to AfroSaxonHeat about Terry James, who is claiming that the England No.1, is his biological son. AfrosaxonHeat has posted the picture of Terry alongside David and the two men look very much alike.
“Terry had always talked about David James before he passed away. He was saying that he knew David was his son and wanted to approach him about this but he never got the chance to do that. He was too proud to do that as he did not want David to think that he was coming out of the woodwork to ask him for favours” Said James’s cousin who was speaking to us from Dominica.
According to the cousin Terry Met David’s mum while he was studying in London back in the late 60’s and started a relationship with her. The two eventually split up after which Terry returned to The Caribbean, not realising that his ex-girlfriend was pregnant with child.
It all came to light after Terry returned to London, and saw his ex at a football match with David next to her. ” He just could not believe it. He saw her in the crowd and convinced himself that was the woman he went out with a long time ago and now she is with a young man who looks exactly like him. He just could not believe it. He wanted to meet David but on second thoughts felt the time was not right to meet him” Said the cousin.
David often referred to as Calamity James because of his many goalkeeping errors was raised by his grandparents in Hertfordshire after his mum and dad split up. He spent a year with his parents in Jamaica, where he said his dad came from. Very little has been written about him and all we know is that he is an art lover like David and is a Jamaican who lived in Britain during the Windrush days.
Tell us what you think folks. Do you think this man looks like David? Is there anyone out there who can enlighten us a bit more? If so we would like to hear from you. Send us your emails.
Terry passed away late last year. May he rest in peace.
