Well done Chris Kamara. Thoroughly deserved
Chris Kamara has been named on the New Year's Honours list after decades of work as a footballer, manager and pundit as well as his tireless anti-racism campaigning.
He quickly became iconic in the role for his enthusiasm for football and he often left host Jeff Stelling and other guests in stitches with his gaffes from the live stadium link. “Unbelievable Jeff” became Kamara’s enduring catchphrase, and it felt like the end of an era when his departure from Sky after 24 years was confirmed at the end of last season.
Kamara, who also presented Sky’s Goals On Sunday programme, is well known to non-football lovers as a co-presenter of ITV’s Ninja Warrior show. Throughout his football career, he played for Swindon, Brentford, Stoke, Leeds, Luton, Sheffield United, Middlesbrough and Bradford.
