Jeff Stelling fought back tears to pay a touching tribute to Chris Kamara after the broadcasting icon announced he will be leaving Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday later this year.
Kamara has spent more than two decades as a pundit on the show, earning legendary status for his affable style and iconic catchphrase: “Unbelievable, Jeff!” The 64-year-old revealed in March that he had been diagnosed with apraxia of speech and admitted he may have to tone down live appearances with the condition impeding his ability to speak.
“After 24 years at Sky Sports we have announced my departure,” he posted on social media. “I have loved every minute & the memories will live with me forever. Working with Jeff & the boys has been Unbelievable! And the special days on Goals on Sunday with Ben Shephard who has become a great pal. I’ve had a blast!”
