Leeds United legend Chris Kamara is unbelievably releasing a Christmas music album

Former Leeds United legend Chris Kamara is releasing a Christmas album of all things.

Kammy, 61, has become a successful broadcaster since retiring from playing with him becoming popular with viewers of Sky Sports and ITV.

Now, the former footballer is releasing a Christmas album of festive songs.

The swing record will feature hits such as Winter Wonderland, It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas and Santa Baby.

Kammy said: “I know it might be surprising to some, but anyone who knows me – especially those who shared a changing room with me in my playing days who first told me I could sing – will tell you what a big fan I am of big band music.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d get to record a full album, though.

Here’s to Christmas is something I’m really proud of and I think it stands up as something fun, but something that doesn’t sound half bad too – an album to get everyone into the swing of Christmas.”

The record will be released on Friday, November 15. We’ll bring you more on the album when we get a sample of the songs.
