Kammy: The Funny and Moving Autobiography by the Broadcasting Legend

Description:

THE SMASH HIT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Nominated for Autobiography of the Year at the 2024 Sports Book Awards

‘Everyone loves Kammy . . . Full of humour and endless blunders’ –
The Times
'What a man, what a life, what a story and what a great read' – Paddy
McGuinness

Presenter, commentator, (sometimes masked) singer, footballer, manager and campaigner, Kammy has done it all. His irrepressible enthusiasm – and a couple of legendary gaffes on Sky Sports – have seen him become broadcasting royalty.

Now Kammy reveals all in this funny and moving autobiography. What happens when you double-cross José Mourinho? What's it like to play with Vinnie Jones? Who comes off better: Kammy or a rampaging gorilla? How did Kammy end up releasing his own top-ten record? What's the real story behind his infamous line, 'I don't know, Jeff!'?

But, despite the crazy tales, it hasn't all been plain sailing. Kammy had a tough upbringing, faced racism during his playing career and has, in recent years, dealt with a rare brain condition – apraxia – that has affected his speech and saw him say goodbye to Sky Sports. Sharing the details of his battle against the condition, Kammy shows how he’s met every challenge with courage, determination and that trademark infectious smile.

Packed with hilarious stories and featuring a cast of famous names, from Elton John to Channing Tatum, this is a book about friendship, courage and why it's always important to have a good laugh.

'A talented (and daft) lad from the Boro who has entertained the nation for decades, on and off the pitch. So get the tissues ready – this book will make you laugh and cry in equal measure' – Steph McGovern


Review

They broke the mould when they made Kammy. He's one of the great characters in the game -- Sam Allardyce

I have always expected the unexpected with Kammy, but I never expected this! A touching, well-written and of course funny insight into Boro’s best! -- Jeff Stelling

Kammy is one of my heroes. What you see is what you get. A talented (and daft) lad from the Boro who has entertained the nation for decades, on and off the pitch. So get the tissues ready – this book will make you laugh and cry in equal measure -- Steph McGovern

I was lucky enough to get to know Kammy recently whilst working with him – a warm, funny, caring person that made me wish I’d known him all his life. This book makes this wish come true – what a great read, from the first chapter to the last! -- Jill Scott

I thought I knew Kammy well. I obviously don’t because I didn’t think he could read or write -- Bradley Walsh

What a man, what a life, what a story, and what a great read -- Paddy McGuinness

I don't know why the f*** I read this, I know most of it. Kammy's cross at Bournemouth when we both played for Leeds made us brothers for life, and thank God he bailed me out when I got arrested in Spain. Great stories - I love this man -- Vinnie Jones

About the Author

Chris Kamara, known to millions as ‘Kammy’, is one of Britain's best-loved television presenters. A former professional football player and manager, he worked as a pundit and football analyst at Sky Sports for twenty-four years, achieving cult status for his off-the-wall catch phrases and irrepressible enthusiasm. In 2022, he left his post at Sky Sports after being diagnosed with the neurological condition apraxia, which impacts his speech. He continues to present a number of television programmes and podcasts, including Ninja Warrior, Cash in the Attic, UK’s Strongest Man and Proper Football.

He joined the Royal Navy at the age of sixteen, before signing up with Portsmouth FC in 1974. He went on to represent several other clubs, including Swindon Town, Brentford, Leeds United, Middlesborough, Stoke City, Luton Town, Sheffield Utd and Bradford City, before he retired in the mid-1990s. Following his retirement from playing, Kamara became a manager, first at Bradford City and then a brief spell at Stoke City.

In March 2023 he was awarded an MBE for services to football, charity, and anti-racism.

What an interesting man Kammy is! I’ve always liked him, found him funny and enjoyed watching him on tv but this book has told me all the many other things about his life. The thing that comes over the most is his appreciation and gratitude for his life and experiences. His genuine warmth appears in every recollection and the book felt almost like a conversation with the man himself, unafraid to be self deprecating and very funny!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read

What a guy he is! Kammy's warmth and caring nature came through his words. A joy to read, and I was taken back to my childhood with the names of players my brothers used to love. Having spent a day with the man, I can promise you that he is a great guy. If you get to meet him, you'll love him

Truly honest heart warming read, what more would you expect from Kammy. A genuine character with bags of personality and a funny likeable man, who has written this inspiring book, not just for himself but for others too. Great read from chapter one until then end.
