From Leigh Simmons

man, this is so hard to rationalise - just think of all the people who have been touched in some way by his life, it may have seemed insignificant at the time but every thought or smile provoked seem so important now.

my overiding memory is of jogging from maccy d's in leicester back up to the pitches for sundays first game. we shared the opinion that a bacon and egg mcmuffin was more important than the first 15 minutes. i'd first spoken to him the day before. he'd had a bit of niggle with another young bundle of fury from the other team. it really annoyed me. i dismissed him as just someone i'd never get on with. within 3 or 4 hours we were sitting in a pub together, warming up for our last game and talking nonsense. and by sunday morning, there we were, jogging up late, trying to put on socks and boots on the hoof, laughing and shouting. we were mates.

From Toby Holt

I don't really have any specific memory of James. I do remember that when I first started going to GB Juniors practices that I didn't really have the confidence to believe that I could. This made me think that I could get in the team and it gave me a lot of confidence when he kept encouraging me. I also remember that he taught me so much about Ultimate. He was also such a fun person and he never said one horrible thing to me. I will miss him a lot.
