Football legend Chris Kamara has revealed former Fulham owner Mohamed Al-Fayed offered to double his salary to make him his right-hand man.
Kamara had a long playing career, with spells at the likes of Portsmouth, Brentford and Leeds United before becoming a pundit. The Englishman became a much-loved member of the Soccer Saturday panel on Sky Sports, before leaving that role at the end of last season.
But Kamara has now disclosed that he could have followed a very different path early on into his punditry career. The former striker received an offer from Al-Fayed to join him as Fulham's director of football, his personal press secretary and the press secretary for luxury department store Harrods, which Al-Fayed owned at the time.
