From Ian Noell

I'm completely stunned by this news. James started playing Ultimate about the same time I came to Cambridge and he has always been part of Cambridge Ultimate for me. Even after he joined the army it was a pleasant surprise to find him on Jesus Green on Sunday mornings - you could always tell it was James from the style of throws. James was always so cheerful. It was always great to have his cheeky comments liven up practices and tournaments.

Some personal memories:

James running away from a huge Chris Mills blade at his first tournament (Ross-on-Wye 95). After that he insisted on catching all blades one-handed, no look, with a high percentage of catches. In fact a lot of his throws and catches had a degree of exhibitionism about them - catching between the legs was almost his trademark (even when the disc was not very low), thumbers, reverse hammers, long range hammers. I think the last time I played with him we ended up having a hammer competition which didn't please many other people but gave us a lot of laughs.

James added something special to Cambridge Ultimate that we all miss.
