Former Sky Sports legend, Chris Kamara, has delighted fans by sharing a nostalgic throwback photo on social media. Kamara, who enjoyed a successful career as both a player and broadcaster, became a firm favorite among fans.

Kamara's Early Career

Kamara, now 65, began his football journey at the age of 16 with Portsmouth in the 1970s. Despite being from Middlesbrough, Kammy found himself on the South Coast after joining the Royal Navy. Pompey spotted his talent while he was playing for the Navy's football team and wasted no time in signing him up.

New Autobiography

Kamara recently released his autobiography titled "My Unbelievable Life." To promote an upcoming book signing event in Portsmouth, he shared a throwback photo of himself proudly wearing his Pompey kit at the age of 16. In the picture, Kamara can be seen sporting a handlebar mustache, adding to the charm of the image.

Fans React

The nostalgic photo received a great response from fans. One fan jokingly questioned Kammy's age, saying, "16? You're having a laugh." Another fan asked if he started shaving at the age of 12. Many fans praised his timeless appearance, with one saying, "If it's any consolation, you didn't age after this pic and stayed 36."

Life After Sky Sports

Kamara bid farewell to Sky Sports after a remarkable 24-year stint with the broadcaster. He was an iconic figure on Soccer Saturday alongside Jeff Stelling and the rest of the team. Before leaving, Kamara was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, which affected his speech. In his new book, he opens up about his condition and the challenges he faced.

Despite the difficulties, Kamara remains a beloved figure in the world of football. His autobiography offers fans an intimate glimpse into his life and career, and is sure to be a must-read for any fan.
