Chris Kamara

“My dad always told me that shoes should be clean and shiny, so I'm really particular about it.”

“I'm not going to change my name unless I know that the public are behind England and show that they want me to become Chris Cabanga.”

“I know that every football fan would love to do my job; get paid to watch football and say it how they see it, and I know I'm in a very privileged position.”

“When I was a kid it was my dream to play for Leeds, and I did that.”

“When I started at Portsmouth in 1974 there was a strong National Front element in the crowd and they would abuse me even though I played for their team. Racist abuse was part of the game and it was never challenged.”

“I've been invited to do 'Strictly and they told me who I would be dancing with because, apparently, you have to train with them for six weeks before. But it's just not going to happen because my body is knackered.”

“The iPhone is so easy to use and navigate - I'd be lost without it.”

“When I was 15, I used to pick the school football team.”

“I've always thought it was a beautiful game and that the ball should be passed around. I also believe you can create goalmouth excitement without resorting to the long-ball game.”

“The greatest thing that has ever happened is whenever I see people in the street, a smile comes on their face straight away and I'm like, 'How did that happen?'”

“Whenever I go shopping with my wife, all I ever seem to come home with is a new pair of shoes.”

“I try to treat players as I would like to be treated myself.”

“My back has always been a problem from when I played.”

“I get racist letters all the time from people who aren't Bradford City supporters. You just laugh at them, tear them up and throw them in the bin.”

“I spent the best part of 20 years trying to stop people like Chris Waddle from playing. Now I'm convinced that good touch and loads of movement are the way forward.”

“I bought a brand-new Mercedes 190E and got a body kit put on in a garage in Swindon. That was a car I absolutely loved, it looked epic with the low skirts and everything.”

“And I know it's an old cliche, but winning and being in a winning position breeds confidence - cliche or not, it's still true.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I know Jonny Howson well because he's a Leeds boy.”
