Legendary sports reporter Chris Kamara made his triumphant return to broadcasting on Boxing Day two years after stepping back from his Soccer Saturday duties due to a speech condition.

The 67-year-old was one of the game's most amusing and beloved personalities during his 20-year tenure in front of the cameras, coining well-known phrases from banter with Sky Sports host Jeff Stelling such as 'unbelievable Jeff!' and 'I don't know Jeff' in memorable on-screen moments.

But 2022 saw Kamara forced to give up his profession after he received a diagnosis for speech apraxia, a rare neurological disorder which left him slurring his words.
