Chris Kamara has vowed to fight his speech apraxia after admitting he had been in “total denial” over the condition.
Kamara, better known by his nickname “Kammy”, is a loved TV personality, having become a key part of Sky Sports’ football coverage on Soccer Saturday. The 64-year-old former midfielder left Soccer Saturday at the end of last season to pursue new challenges after 24 years of working on the show.
In March he revealed his apraxia of speech diagnosis and said he would need to "take a back seat" from TV work. He has since launched a BBC podcast with his former Sky Sports colleague and close friend Ben Shephard, but admits that he still struggles with speaking some days.
