#2 David James
David James is a household name in the South Indian state. The goalkeeper was crucial in leading the club to the finals in 2014 when he was their marquee player-manager. He was noted for turning Kerala into a strong unit at the back, that relied on solid defensive displays rather than entertainment.
As a team, they frequently struggled up front and the lack of an outfield marquee player was pretty evident. After leaving the ISL, he joined National League outfit Luton Town, where he worked to gain experience towards a UEFA -A Licence qualification. His return to the Blasters would see a huge lift in club morale, which could be considered really vital to their chances in the League after their disastrous last season.
