      Kammy spent 20 years as a professional footballer before stepping into his popular role as a pundit and presenter with Sky Sports.
      However, he stepped away from the broadcaster amid his apraxia speech disorder, leaving him feeling like a “fraud”.
      Kamara continues to do some pre-recorded presenting on ITV and has received widespread support.
      Now the former Bradford manager, who served in the navy as a teenager, has been honoured for his services to football, charity and anti-racism.

      Kamara, who was accompanied at the royal residence by his wife and two sons, shared a joke with the future King.
      And the Kensington Royal Twitter account for the Prince and Princess of Wales made reference to Kammy’s iconic red-card blunder moment at Fratton Park in 2010.
      The tweet said: “We’re off to Windsor Castle where there’s been an MBE, but for who @chris_kammy?”
      Kammy described the day as “unbelievable” in classic fashion.

      He told Sky Sports: “It feels unbelievable. 
      “It’s a great family occasion to be there with Prince William and talk football with him for a good five minutes. It couldn’t have been any better.
      “My charity work is very important to me. I’ve always wanted to work with Marie Curie and raise money for them as they looked after my mum.
      “Thankfully, I’ve been a patron for 14 years and been involved in raising over £3million.
      “With my experience of apraxia, hopefully we can get something past the government to help young kids who are struggling with their speech.”
      Liverpool midfielder James Milner was also presented with his MBE after two decades as a Premier League player.
      Manchester City legend Mike Summerbee was made an OBE – like Milner, for his services to football and charity – while Chelsea and Wales star Sophie Ingle received her OBE.

      Jurgen Klopp’s Reds ran riot at Anfield as they racked up a record number of goals against their rivals.

      Pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher were at each other’s throats during a brutal clash.

      Neville slammed Carragher and fellow ex-Liverpool star Graeme Souness for “gloating like little children” as Cates played the role of moderator.
      Neville also argued that 7-0 was a “freak result” following United’s recent success, including victory over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final, in an attempt to downplay Liverpool’s performance.
      And Cates couldn’t resist having a cheeky pop as she signed off the show for the evening.
      The daughter of Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish bid farewell to viewers saying: “Liverpool sharp off the tee at Anfield this afternoon.

      Neville attempted to get the final word as the screen cut off, shouting: “And you’re live on Liverpool TV.”
      But fans reserved their praise for Cates, with one saying: “Kelly Cates the best in the biz right now. Future main host of BBC Match of the Day right there.”
      Another declared: “Kelly Cates once again proving she’s easily the best around right now. Probably the best Sky Sports have ever had. That was Des Lynam-esque in his prime at the end there.”
      One noted: “Kelly Cates what a woman, a true professional and still mischievous. Love it!”
      Another added: “Fantastic final line! Best sports presenter on TV!”
      Meanwhile, Carragher continued his wind-up of Neville today by claiming the ex-Man Utd ace had “cried off” working the Monday Night Football show for Brentford vs Fulham.
      It prompted a speedy response for Neville, who told Carragher to “behave” before explaining he was never scheduled for an appearance. More

      Ahead of the season opener in Bahrain, Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle resumed the tradition of his grid walk.
      His walk normally allows him to rub shoulders and grab a quick word from the host of celebrities and team members on the grid – sometimes to great comedic effect.
      And his walk in Bahrain was no different, as he spoke to Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa and Red Bull chief Christian Horner before speaking to Clarkson.
      After asking the ex-Top Gear host whether he should be “planting turnips” Clarkson spoke of his excitement to be back at an F1 race.

      He said: “[The] First F1 race I’ve been to for years. It’s just so fantastic to be back. I adore Formula 1.
      “It was infuriating for years and years and now it’s back because they can follow one another and the aerodynamics are so much better.
      “My daughter is now a really big fan so I can talk to her about it. I can’t believe how big [the cars] have got! I’m just fizzing with excitement over it all.”
      The race would go on to be won by Max Verstappen, who produced a dominant display.

      Sergio Perez came in second, while Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso claimed his 99th career podium after Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc retired.
      Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton could only muster a fifth-placed finish following Toto Wolff’s admission the Mercedes design concept may need to be scrapped.
      Team-mate George Russell came in seventh, while it was a day to forget for McLaren and Alpine’s Esteban Ocon.
      Lando Norris was forced to pit SIX times throughout the race due to engine issues, while F1 debutant Oscar Piastri was forced to retire early on.
      Ocon was handed a raft of penalties after twice incorrectly serving previous offences, compromising his race beyond repair.
      His first penalty came after he incorrectly slotted into his grid position at the start of the race before he failed to serve the penalty properly at a pit stop.
      The third offence came as he was found to be speeding in the pit lane.
      It saw the Frenchman equal Pastor Maldonado’s unenviable record for most race penalties in a single race, set at the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2015.

      Roy Keane and Gary Neville made to eat their words after mocking Souness’ Liverpool vs Man Utd prediction

      ROY KEANE and Gary Neville both cheekily smirked as Graeme Souness backed Liverpool to beat Manchester United.But it was Souness who had the last laugh as the Reds handed United their biggest defeat in NINETY-TWO YEARS.
      🗣️ “I fully expect them [Liverpool] to turn up today, it’s a long time since I’ve been this confident about a Liverpool win against [Manchester] United.” Graeme Souness is backing a Liverpool victory today. 💪 pic.twitter.com/O8zm9apXBa— Football Daily (@footballdaily) March 5, 2023

      Graeme Souness is confident of a Liverpool victory
      Roy Keane and Gary Neville could barely contain their laughter
      Despite being unconvincing going into the match, Jurgen Klopp’s men hammered Ten Hag’s side 7-0 at Anfield.
      Before the match, Souness said on Sky Sports: “I think where Liverpool are right now, this game comes at the perfect time.
      “What an opportunity to put a marker down, to shut all the doubting Thomases up, and damage United.
      “I fully expect them to turn up today. And it’s a long time, Kelly, since I’ve been as confident about a Liverpool win against United as I am today.

      “I just feel they’re going to turn up today.
      “I think they’ll be bang up for it today. This is a difficult place for United to come.”
      Keane and Neville struggled to contain their laughter by the end of Souness’ prediction, with the pair both tipping their former side to win.

      Neville suggested the game could go either way but had faith in his former team and expected Casemiro to play a big role.

      “Get through that first half an hour and it’s anyone’s game.

      “He’s done something really special in that dressing room, obviously with the manager.”
      Ironically Man Utd did get through the first half hour, but then fell behind to Cody Gakpo’s goal on 43 minutes.
      A total capitulation would follow in the second half as Gakpo scored again, Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah netted doubles and Roberto Firmino capped things off with the seventh after some comical United defending. More

      by

      LIVERPOOL icon Jamie Carragher hilariously trolled Gary Neville following Arsenal’s comeback against Bournemouth. Despite conceding the second-fastest goal in Premier League history – 9.11 seconds to Philip Billing – Arsenal fought back to claim a last-gasp winner through Reiss Nelson.

      And following the game, Carragher took a pop at his Sky Sports colleague, who has been a vocal sceptic of Arsenal throughout the season.
      Taking to Twitter, Carragher posted a video with the caption: “Leadership on show 👀.”
      In the video, Neville is seen questioning the leadership credentials in the Arsenal squad, particularly summer signing Oleksandr Zinchenko.
      Indeed, one part of the video repeats audio of Neville saying: “Zinchenko’s not a leader,” with the Ukraine star leading a team-talk in the background.
