Leeds United icon Chris Kamara sets his sights on topping the charts

Former Leeds United star Chris Kamara is a man of many talents and he has his eye on topping the charts this Christmas.

Since retiring from football, Kammy, 62, has become a successful pundit and TV host. Fans know him from his work on Sky Sports as well hosting ITV’s Ninja Warrior UK.

He’s now also a singing star and will be releasing his second festive album in November. Following on from his unbelievable success with debut, Kammy, will return with ‘...And A Happy New Year’.

Leeds United fave Kammy, who was born on Christmas Day 1957, said: “I was blown away by the reception to ‘Here’s To Christmas’ (Kammy’s first musical offering) and when I was asked to record another I just had to.

“I hope that with ‘… And A Happy New Year’, especially in this year, I can help give people a little bit of festive cheer, and something to sing-along to.”

The upcoming record, which will be released on November 27, will feature festive favourites  ‘White Christmas’, ‘In The Bleak Midwinter’‘Blue Christmas’ and ‘I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday’ performed in big band swing style.

The album will also feature two brand new tracks ‘Mr Claus’ and ‘Happy New Year’, written for Kammy.
