James to face Parlour divorce firm

Troubled footballer David James has been hit by a fresh blow - his wife is consulting the same divorce lawyers who won a record settlement for another footballer's wife.

Now Tanya James - whom the goalkeeper left for an old school flame he rediscovered on the Friends Reunited website - is understood to be seeking ?3 million.

The news will come as a shock to James, who has reportedly been warned that his impending legal battle will make the Parlour case "look like a picnic".

The 33-year-old Manchester City star left his wife and their four children nearly two years ago to be with his former childhood sweetheart Amanda Salmon, now 32. The relationship did not last.
