I loved him because he was my dad, but his volatile temperament, which often spilled over into violence, could make life difficult. Only later did I realize this wasn’t how all homes worked. Despite everything, my mum was the most loyal wife you could imagine. Kamara was left thinking his family would 'be better of' without him, but said sharing his thoughts and struggles with those around really helped. "When finally I did start to share my problems, I began to see that the future might not be so bleak," he added.

Now Kammy reveals all in this funny and moving autobiography. What happens when you double cross José Mourinho? What it’s like to play with Vinnie Jones? Who comes off better: Kammy or a rampaging gorilla? How did Kammy end up releasing his own top-ten record? What's the real story behind his infamous line, 'I don't know, Jeff!'?

Eventually he agreed to talk about his apraxia in an interview with Shephard on ITV’s Good Morning Britain. “I came out and did it with him, and it was the best day of my life from then on.” He was astonished by people’s understanding, kindness and warmth. Finally, it made sense to his fans. When I’d hear that Jeff was coming over to me for the first time, I’d feel properly scared, like something really awful was about to happen – a creeping presence, slowly grabbing hold of my mind until I was barely able to function. When the cue finally came, all too often I could hear how slowly I was talking. How words weren’t coming out clearly.

But when the walls are closing in it's easy to feel differently. I hope by being honest and talking about it, I can help others see that there is always another way out. There is always hope. You just have to let other people help you see it."Day 28 was soon here. In the afternoon I had a call from Dr Trujillo. He was excited to tell me my brain had reacted to the treatment to the extent that I now had 2,000-plus more neural pathways (the bundles of fibres which connect one area of the nervous system to another) than when I’d arrived. It is a good honest read. His voice comes over loud and clear and his stories and anecdotes are as funny as his commentaries and reports from his football matches were. He is open but not bitter about the horrendous racism in football in years gone by, almost underplaying it but managing to give the reader an honest view of how unpleasant and unacceptable it was. There is nothing to dislike about the man nor his autobiography.
