Critics Review
They broke the mould when they made Kammy. He’s one of the great characters in the game – Sam Allardyce
I have always expected the unexpected with Kammy, but I never expected this! A touching, well-written and of course funny insight into Boro’s best! – Jeff Stelling
Kammy is one of my heroes. What you see is what you get. A talented (and daft) lad from the Boro who has entertained the nation for decades, on and off the pitch. So get the tissues ready – this book will make you laugh and cry in equal measure – Steph McGovern
I was lucky enough to get to know Kammy recently whilst working with him – a warm, funny, caring person that made me wish I’d known him all his life. This book makes this wish come true – what a great read, from the first chapter to the last! – Jill Scott
I thought I knew Kammy well. I obviously don’t because I didn’t think he could read or write – Bradley Walsh
What a man, what a life, what a story, and what a great read – Paddy McGuinness
I don’t know why the f*** I read this, I know most of it. Kammy’s cross at Bournemouth when we both played for Leeds made us brothers for life, and thank God he bailed me out when I got arrested in Spain. Great stories - I love this man – Vinnie Jones
Everyone loves Kammy … full of humour and endless blunders * The Times *
Chris Kamara
Christopher Kamara, known to millions as ‘Kammy’, is one of Britain’s best loved television presenters. A former professional football player and manager, he worked as a pundit and football analyst at Sky Sports for twenty-three years, achieving cult status for his off-the-wall catch phrases and enthusiasm. In 2022, he left his post at Sky Sports after being diagnosed with the neurological disorder apraxia, which impacts his speech. He continues to present a number of television programmes and podcasts, including Ninja Warrior, Cash in the Attic and Proper Football.
He joined the Royal Navy at the age of sixteen, before signing up with Portsmouth FC in 1974. He went on to represent several other clubs, including Swindon Town, Brentford, Leeds United and Stoke City, before he retired in the mid-1990s. Following his retirement from playing, Kamara became a manager, first at Bradford City and then at Stoke City. He also had a brief managerial spell at Huddersfield Town in 2001.
In March 2023 he was awarded an MBE for services to football, charity, and anti-racism.
