Chris Kamara tells ITV Good Morning Britain experts are 'unsure' whether speech will improve

Broadcaster Chris Kamara has revealed that even experts are unsure whether his speech will improve. The former Premier League star and broadcasting legend admitted his condition leaves him looking "drunk".

Kamara revealed he is suffering from apraxia of speech after Soccer Saturday viewers noticed a difference in his voice last weekend, the Mirror reports. The 64-year-old, who is set to leave Soccer Saturday at the end of the season, is determined to "beat" the condition and continue his media career. The former midfielder has appeared on countless TV shows during the last two decades, including Emmerdale.

Kamara made nearly 800 professional appearances during his playing career for Portsmouth, Swindon, Brentford, Stoke, Leeds, Luton, Sheffield United, Middlesbrough and Bradford. He went on to manage Bradford and Stoke, with his last role ending in 1998.
