Got to give the guy a tonne of credit for appearing when he’s clearly struggling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheltons Army Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 He has been struggling with his speech for a while It was reported back some time ago that he had an overactive thyroid. Im no medical expert but it seems something more than that Whatever it is he , keep strong aka my , nice to see he remains bright , and great to see him working and where he likes to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for balance, he was a dirty thug as a player. A red card at Ashton Gate in the 80s, for a deliberate studs up stamp, remains fresh in my memory.

Sheltons Army Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 CK has Apraxia then Speaking on GMB, Chris Kamara said: "It was incredible, today's a good day, today I think I'm fine, I don't know how I sound but it seems as if I'm okay. "I'm not really sure about how it comes out because if I explain my Apraxia, it's like we take for granted the fact that when we think and coming through our speech, it's comfortable, it's easy, it's natural. "My Apraxia when it's bad stops those signals from that brain going to that mouth so it slows it's down. In fact, at times it slurs the words as well. So people are looking and thinking, 'Is he alright? Is he drunk?' Keep smiling Kammy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Good player in his day. Saw him score a cracking header against us at Ashton Gate. Think he was playing for someone like Brentford at the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep smiling Kammy I'd rather listen to Kammy with a bit of slurring than many of the others, at least the bloke is a great character and has a superb personality.

There was a advert he was doing about 2 months ago with Kelly Cates and he was speaking slow so looked on Google to see if he had had a stroke in the past year and he hadn’t,so this explains it 40 minutes ago, TheReds said: I'd rather listen to Kammy with a bit of slurring than many of the others, at least the bloke is a great character and has a superb personality.

Imagine a few hours out with him would be quite entertaining. He's do well if he kept up his persona if he wasn't like it in real life, even though a few seem to do it (Frankie Dettori being one of them).

Great memory on you Mr Marvels! if only mine was so good, but the cider has done for that..... and in Chris K's defense, we have probably all done some "dumb a$$" stuff in our younger days that we all now regret.... If only my "red mist" tackles were the only misdemeanors to forget in my case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
