Benjamin James made a name for himself while playing for the defunct Police Machine team in Lagos before playing for the famous Stationary Stores football club of Lagos.
He also plied his trade with JIB Rocks and later 3SC before being called up to the Super Eagles team with Clemence Westerhoff in charge. The team won the ECOWAS Cup. The Bayelsa born player left for Europe soon after then just like his contemporaries like Finidi George, Taribo West and others. Since he left, he has never looked back.
In the past ten years, James has been coach of the youth team of Hoffenheim, Germany winning matches after matches and flying Nigeria’s flag at high mast.
