David James briefly became public enemy number one at Anfield on Sunday after saving a young boy's half-time penalty - twice.

The former Liverpool stopper returned to his old stomping ground for the 2-1 win over Chelsea to help promote Standard Chartered's community engagement programme, 'Futuremakers'.

But his interpretation of community outreach was rather crooked as he left the boy, reportedly aged 11, 'absolutely gutted' after his dream of scoring in front of the Kop was dashed.

Boos rained down from the Kop and James showed little remorse for leaving a young supporter crestfallen.
