Chris 'Kammy' Kamara played over 650 professional football matches across 11 clubs, managed Bradford City to Play-off Final promotion, and became one of Britain's most beloved sports broadcasters on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday and Goals on Sunday. Known for his infectious personality, memorable catchphrases and openness about his health challenges, Kammy delivers engaging talks that inspire teams to embrace positivity, overcome adversity and find joy in their work, leaving audiences uplifted and motivated.

Chris Kamara is an ex professional footballer which, over a 20 year career, saw him playing for 10 teams and going on to manage 2 of them.

In the late 1990s Chris became involved in footballing punditry on Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday with Jeff Stelling, and Goals on Sunday with various presenters, including 10 years with Ben Shephard.  Chris is perhaps best known for his hard-hitting, often light- hearted analysis of Premier League action from the gantry, making him a household name.

Chris was also seen on TV as a regular face of entertainment.  He was a presenter of ITV’s Saturday night prime time show Ninja Warrior, has also presented The BBC’s One Show and Channel 4s Packed Lunch, along with numerous other shows, including The Games, Cash in the Attic and UK’s Strongest Man.  He has even had guest appearances on long running soap Emmerdale and the award winning Ted Lasso.

Chris is heavily involved in charity work and has helped to raise over £3million for his chosen charity Marie Curie, of which he is a patron. Chris has worked with the Apraxia Association, Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, and the British Thyroid Foundation.  Chris has also been involved with Show Racism The Red Card for 23 years, and he has walked the length and breadth of the country with his big mate, the ‘Unbelievable’ Jeff Stelling, supporting Jeff’s charity, Prostate UK.  Locally, Chris is a regular at Pinderfields Hospital for their annual Christmas gifting of presents to children who are unfortunate to be inpatients at that time – joining in the fun and dressing as one of Santa’s elves.  He is also a great supporter in a similar role for East Yorkshire based Sun Flower Childrens Action Group.

Chris’ charisma and sense of humour is infectious; he’s known in the industry as a guy who works exceedingly hard and is always ready with a winning smile
