Chris Kamara pays emotional tribute to Jeff Stelling ahead of Soccer Saturday exit

Chris Kamara has admitted to "getting my tribute in early" after lauding Soccer Saturday presenter Jeff Stelling.

After joining Sky 31 years ago, Hartlepool's most famous football fan has fronted the programme's afternoon coverage since 1998. Ironically though, he'll make his final bow in a special edition this Sunday to cover the final day of the Premier League season.

Stelling initially announced he was stepping down last at the end of the 2021/22 season, before reversing his decision and opting for another year. But this time he's insisted there will be no turnaround, and long-term colleague Kamara has offered a glowing appraisal of the 68-year-old's work.
