Former Leeds United and Bradford City footballer Chris Kamara has revealed he offered to quit his new ITV show over his recent health worries. Chris announced recently that he had developed apraxia of speech, which has led to him taking a break from Sky Sports, quitting on Saturday after over two decades on the show.
Kamara also admitted that he sought to leave his latest programme, The Games, on ITV but he was persuaded to stay by TV bosses. Chris spoke at the show's launch speaking about his choice to quit and thanked the ITV team for begging him to stay on board.
He will be working alongside experienced commentator Simon Brotherton. The two worked together on BBC Radio 5 Live in the late 1990s when he first began his broadcasting career.
