[TV] Chris Kamara: lost for words

[Durlston]

On ITV now.

Heartbreaking to see Chris struggling with a brain condition that makes him unable to talk at a normal pace. He left his job at Sky because of it. Yes, he got over-excited on Saturday afternoons but he loves football so much. He just looks so sad now with all his confidence shattered. Ben Shepherd showing what a fine human being he is with Chris.

Edit: left job at Sky. They didn't push him out.

Very sad, his enthusiasm always shone through

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Yes, this has been aired on radio 5 (where he still has a podcast). An absolute force of nature and all power to him.

 

[Durlston]

Love Kammy's laugh. Not afraid to show his feelings and throughout this programme, over the months, his confidence is returning. An acceptance of it being part of who he is now. I hope he finds answers to this rare brain condition.

Heart of a lion. Just like on the pitch, he gave and now gives everything he's got.

Is it the same condition that caused Bruce Willis to retire?
Very sad

Sunday night on ITV around 11pm+ as we know if it was one of The BBC darlings it would have been on 1 at prime time.

Just about one of the most lovable guys you could wish to see on the box , genuinely nice person who gave footy a smile even when the score was 0-0 . One of those bits of news that honestly makes you feel like crap , nothing but best wishes from me .

 

[Jam The Man]

Met Kammy when I won the Coke thing - very friendly chap and what’s happening is a great shame.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Absolutely heartbreaking programme yet remarkably uplifting!

what a gentleman Kammy is!

 

[Greg Bobkin]

His episode on the 'Diary of a CEO' podcast is well worth a listen.

Top bloke, such a tragedy for him.

Sunday night on ITV around 11pm+ as we know if it was one of The BBC darlings it would have been on 1 at prime time.

The first showing was 9pm on Wednesday night so pretty much prime time.

For those who missed it, it is a very good programme, not just about him but how he is helping others with the condition.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

The 'I dunno Jeff' Pompey clip is a true classic. I love the bloke even if it was just for that.

I imagine growing up mixed race in Middlesbrough wasn’t exactly a picnic, what a guy.
