Soccer Saturday's Chris Kamara is leaving Sky Sports at the end of the season after 24 years.
Kamara, better known as "Kammy", also worked on Soccer AM and Goals on Sunday over his time at Sky Sports.
But it will be for all the funny moments on Soccer Saturday with presenter Jeff Stelling that Kammy is most fondly remembered - and his famous catchphrase, "Unbelievable, Jeff!".

I met kammy once in an Italian restaurant in Tenerife, he was with the hole family around 20 of them, he had his photo taken with everyone in the restaurant, did autographs for the kids, the amount of time he spent with people was unreal considering he was out for food with his family, the bloke couldn’t do enough for people, one of the nicest blokes I’ve ever met. A true legend 👏🏻

Remember watching Soccer AM as a kid. Each week Kammy would be on the spot at whichever game he was covering that day. And every week, without fail, he would say with a straight face: "I am here, at the REAL home of football..." xD Absolutely love him - what a legend.

Something’s very wrong here. Not long after Jeff reveals he’s staying, Kammy announces he’s going and isn’t even there in person to announce it. This all screams of something else going on. He’ll be sorely missed. I love Kammy for his love of Rugby League. I’d love him to love to that sport.
