Bristol City goalkeeper David James has revealed that when he first got a call from manager Steve Coppell he believed it was a joke.

"I thought someone was trying to pull my leg initially," he told BBC Bristol.

"I'd just had a stag do and it was 10 o'clock in the morning and I was certainly worse for wear."

And the England international admitted that had he got the call from any other Championship manager he would have completely dismissed it.

There you go then

Are they planning the same tactic with Michael Owen? Catch him when he's drunk and he'll sign anything.
