David James and his big chopper

David James

It’s not often that you get to use the words ‘David James’ and ‘big chopper’ in the same sentence so UTC couldn’t resist the urge to share with his readers an otherwise dull tale of how the former England keeper ended up in a helicopter delivering bottles of Budweiser to fans of rubbish football teams across England.

Long story mercifully short, Budweiser (the official beer of the FA Cup) decided it would be a wheeze to stick David ‘Calamity’ James in a chopper and get him to “reward the biggest achievements of the Third Round” of the cup by airdropping beer for fans of teams who had “against all odds beat their tough competitors or put up the biggest fight.”

We could go on with some inspiring and deeply insincere quotes about the stunt from James. But we won’t.
