Chris Kamara describes return to football punditry as ‘surreal’
Kamara, who had a 20-year playing career, was appointed MBE in the 2023 New Year Honours list for services to football, anti-racism and charity.
Treatment since his apraxia diagnosis had made him “75% better”, he said.
“Last time I did in-vision reporting my heart was almost coming out of my chest with anxiety, I had terrible palpitations,” he said.
“But with the help I’ve had, with people rallying around me, I hope I’ll be as cool as a cucumber.”
He added: “The support has been so positive – so thank you to everyone looking forward to me speaking down the camera from a game again.”
