Chris Kamara set to quit Soccer Saturday as cult hero pundit 'sees the writing on the wall'

Popular pundit Chris Kamara is set to be next to quit Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday, according to a report.

Long-time host Jeff Stelling will depart his role at the end of the season and it's claimed close pal Kamara is poised to follow him.

The Daily Mail say the cult hero pundit "sees the writing on the wall" after the likes of Charlie Nicholas, Phil Thompson and Matt Le Tissier were all axed from the show.

Kamara, 64, was reportedly keen to keep news of his exit off the radar with his friend and colleague Stelling set for a swansong after 28 years working for Sky.

Kamara has become a popular figure for his live reporting from Premier League and EFL grounds, coining the 'unbelievable Jeff!" catchphrase and starring in a number of viral moments.

His oblivious reaction to being asked about a red card in a clash between Portsmouth and Blackburn - "I don't know Jeff, was there?" - still appears on social media feeds to this day.

But it appears it's now the end of an era for the Saturday show, with the Mail report stating Scottish pundit Alan McInally could be next to leave.
