Half-time penalty shootouts are often lighthearted affairs but not where David James is concerned.

The former Liverpool goalkeeper returned between the posts at Anfield during the interval of his old club’s Premier League clash with Chelsea.

But James was in an uncharitable mood as he went to great lengths to keep out a spot kick attempted by a young supporter in front of The Kop.

When the fan was given a second chance to score, the ex-England international continued to show no mercy by producing a sprawling stop.

James isn’t the first ex-pro to maintain his ruthless side for charity as Bayern Munich legend Oliver Kahn reportedly saved every penalty in a shootout against nine-year-olds.

Have a little heart, fellas!
