Kammy left his role on Sky Sports in 2022 after being diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, leaving him with a condition that affects his speech.

But now he has thanked England fans who embraced him as he walked through Frankfurt ahead of the Three Lions’ clash with the Danes.

Kamara posted a short clip on to his 1.9m Twitter followers to share his thoughts.

The cult-hero commentator wrote: “Walked through the square & what a reception. Thank you England fans.”

Supporters can be heard endearingly shouting “Kammy” and “unbelievable Jeff”, before Karama turned round to wave with a smile.

One wrote: “You are well loved Kammy.”

Another said: “There’s only one Chris Kamara!”

A third added: “Well deserved you are such a great guy. Lap it up.”
