Chris Kamara has admitted he is concerned he could be cut by Sky Sports, after his long-time Soccer Saturday colleagues Matt Le Tissier, Phil Thompson and Charlie Nicholas were sacked back in August.
Sky underwent a major revamp of their programming over the summer and the trio were given the axe, with Kamara admitting it could easily have been him or presenter Jeff Stelling who were sacked.
Speaking to The Sun, Kamara said: "I could have went in the last one. Me and Jeff, we're not expendable, so we feel our time will come. We are getting old as well.
"These are young bloods coming through.
"And there are people who think we were great a few years ago but probably think we've done our time now and let's bring in the youngsters.
"But if it all ended tomorrow at Sky, I can honestly say that they have been fantastic to me.
"To be with a company for 22 years, you don't get a manager's job 22 years unless you're Sir Alex [Ferguson] or Arsene Wenger.'
Reflecting on the departures of Le Tissier, Thompson and Nicholas, Kamara revealed it took him by surprise, adding: "I was absolutely devastated.
"You just think, 'Crikey'. Being honest, when I started working at Sky I could never see the end of Rodney Marsh, George Best, God bless his soul, Frank McLintock, Alan Moore, Clive Allen.
"They had such good banter and you thought they were going to be there for ever.
"Then Sky made the change to bring in Charlie, Thomo, Le Tiss, so that acceptance that it had to be them this time around took me by surprise.
"But I’d seen it before. I’m just fortunate I wasn’t on the end of it as well. The boys accepted it. We were hoping to all go out together this Christmas. But that’s not going to happen now because of Covid. We’ll get it sorted next year.
"They’re great people, they’ve been fantastic to work with all the time. We certainly had a lot of banter together and a lot of camaraderie."
