Leeds United legend Chris Kamara suffers nightmare appearance on The Chase

Leeds United legend Chris Kamara faced up to an unenviable nightmare when he appeared on ITV quiz The Chase.

Kammy, 63, appeared on a celebrity Soccer Aid special of Bradley Walsh’s hit quiz show. The former Leeds United player, now a popular pundit and TV personality, teamed up with a host of famous faces against Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha.

Kammy, along with teammates Sam Matterface, Jimmy Nesbitt and Seema Jaswell, took part to raise funds for Soccer Aid charity UNICEF.

It was a fine start for the celebs with Kammy bagging £7,000 in the bank after beating the chaser in their head-to-head. That was about as good as it got though with the following stars all being knocked out by the Sinnerman and leaving Kammy to fend for himself in the final chase.

The studio erupted in laughter as Kammy winced: "I'm on my own!"

The host of Ninja Warrior UK fared admirably in the final face-off against the chaser but ultimately he was defeated in his solo quest against the Sinnerman meaning he’d lost the £7,000 he earlier banked.

Due to Kammy’s efforts, during the weekend’s celeb special of The Chase, he was rewarded with £1,000 which was given to the Soccer Aid cause.
