Did You Know? 5 facts about Sky Sports funnyman Chris Kamara

‘Kammy’ the Coach

Kamara was appointed Bradford City manager in November 1995, following Lennie Lawrence’s sacking, where he was already assistant manager.

His objective was to save the Bantams from relegation, but just three defeats in their final 13 games saw Bradford impressively secure a place in the Second Division play-offs, before they defeated Notts County 2-0 in the final to secure promotion to the First Division.

The following 1996-97 campaign, ‘Kammy’s’ side narrowly fought off relegation thanks to a final day victory over Queens Park Rangers.

However, he left Valley Parade in January 1998 after falling out with chairman Geoffrey Richmond. Kamara quickly then took over at one of his other former clubs, Stoke City, from January 22, 1998.

But just one win in his 14 games in charge saw the former midfielder sacked come early-April, with the Potters suffering relegation from Division One come the end of the season.
