The Creggan man has played with a host of current Premier League stars, but this line-up is just about his former Candy Stripes team-mates and next week we'll have his cross-channel/international team.
James goes for a traditional 4-4-2 system and also gives honourable mentions to Barry Molloy, Patrick McEleney and Stewart Greacen, who just missed out and would be on his bench, but here's his best 11 players he played with at Derry City and the reasons why....
. Gerard Doherty
Gerard Doherty (Goalkeeper): Top quality keeper, who also at times fancied himself as an outfield player. His experience during my time at Derry was helpful. | jpimedia
. Eddie McCallion
Eddie McCallion (Right-Back): Steady Eddie, was another top pro, who gave his all for the club. Like Gerard his experience in the big games always stood out to me. | jpimedia
. Peter Hutton
Peter Hutton (Centre-Back): Pizza was coming to an end of what was a great Derry City career. He was great to me and all the young players coming through and his advice was invaluable. His calmness and ability on the ball at the back was superb. | jpimedia

Ryan McBride (Centre-Back): What a player and warrior Ryan was. He loved a tackle and loved playing for Derry City. He is still sorely missed. | jpimedia
