James Eastham

From 1993 to 2000, James Eastham was editor of the UK's first and only English-language fanzine, Aux Armes!

Since 2000, he has interviewed many of French football's leading personalities, including Aime Jacquet, Nicolas Anelka and current France coach Laurent Blanc. He has written about French football for a number of publications around the world, including When Saturday Comes and Four Four Two.

Since joining the Betfair team in 2008, he has made a healthy profit on Ligue 1 outright markets and matches. He dreams of making enough money from football betting to buy a small fourth division French club.
