James Joseph Placer Younghusband (born September 4, 1986 in Ashford, London, England) is an English-Filipino football player who plays for the Philippine National Team. He is the older brother of Philippine celebrity Phil Younghusband.

Younghusband's career began when he signed for Chelsea in 1996 and signed a scholarship with them at the age of 10. While with Chelsea he made a number of appearances for the youth and reserve team. During his scholarship he attended the Salesian School in southwest London where he passed all his GCSEs and one A-Level.

Childhood and career

Younghusband was born in Ashford, Middlesex, England.

He was with Chelsea before he turned 12. He usually operates on the right side of the field either as a right back or a right winger.

Early in 2005, the Philippine Football Federation was alerted to Younghusband's eligibility by a mysterious gamer who allegedly found out about their lineage via the Football Manager series. He and his younger brother Phil were eventually called up to the Southeast Asian nation's football squad, amidst much fanfare. Younghusband participated in the 2005 Southeast Asian Games, which was held in the Philippines, scoring three goals at the tournament.

His younger brother Phil is also a professional footballer attached to Chelsea F.C. and is now a highly-rated reserve team regular. The pair play together for the Philippine national team.
