Chris Kamara made an emotional return to live football commentary on Boxing Day, two years on since his speech apraxia diagnosis.

Kammy reunited with his former Soccer Saturday colleague Jeff Stelling for Amazon Prime’s Boxing Day football coverage.

The 67-year-old was visibly emotional as he made his debut reporting on Nottingham Forest and Tottenham’s clash.

Stelling told viewers: “It's a very good afternoon, happy Christmas, and a belated happy birthday to Chris Kamara.

“Thank you Jeff,” Kamara said, looking visibly emotional.

“To get that call, to say I was doing this game was the biggest fill-up ever.”
