    Reputed broadcaster and former footballer Chris Kamara has decided to call time on his Sky Sports and will be leaving the team at the end of the season following 24 years with the broadcasting company. The 64-year-old presenter recently revealed that he had developed a speech apraxia disorder besides a thyroid issue that was already persistent.

    “My long career at Sky Sports has never felt like work. I’ve spent 24 terrific years at Sky, and leave with the best of memories.

    My time on Soccer AM, Goals on Sunday and, of course, on Soccer Saturday with Jeff has been – to coin a phrase – unbelievable. I’ve had the time of my life, and look forward to tuning in every Saturday as a fan.”

    he said in a statement released by Sky.

    Following his football and managerial career, Kamara worked as a football pundit for a number of television and radio stations. He became a regular on the Sky Sports platform when he started presenting Soccer Saturday in 1999.

    His primary role involved attending a match on a particular Saturday and appear over live video link to provide brief updates and important insights regarding the match. It was an untried and relatively new concept in the United Kingdom back then, and therefore, Kamara and his crew had to improvise much of it as they went along. He quickly made a name for himself for his excitable presentation as well as witty jokes and gags.

    He has also presented the Sky Sports show Goals on Sunday weekly since August 2000 and has also provided commentary on a few televised matches. He has also interviewed players and managers across the UK in the Soccer AM show, where he has featured as a guest.

    The broadcaster previously underwent several brain scans to determine whether he was suffering from dementia. Kamara had been suffering from ‘brain fog’ for a while and was worried whether it was because of injuries he suffered because of heading the ball during his playing career.
