Bradley Walsh was left stunned after former England goalkeeper David James made history on an episode of ITV's The Chase. The football star, who played for Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City, broke the record for the most answered questions during a celebrity cash builder round as he appeared on a special episode of the hit quiz show for Soccer Aid.
James racked up an impressive 11 correct answers, taking back £11,000 for the rest of the team, which included Shaun Williamson, Dion Dublin and Lianne Sanderson. He was up against The Menace Darragh Ennis on the charity special for UNICEF, which aired on Friday night (June 10).
Bradley Walsh branded the team's performance "extraordinary" after they ended up with an impressive 24 questions in the final chase. And they took back an amazing £150,000 for the charity after Shaun added £132,000 to the pot, as reported by BirminghamLive.
