Sky's Chris Kamara in unbelievable return with Welshpool Town

There were 'unbelievable' scenes in Welshpool when Sky Sports pundit Chris Kamara came out of retirement to help the struggling side.

The presenter and commentator, who has fans across the country thanks to his excitable nature and on-air bloopers, pulled on his boots to help Welshpool Town in a match against Rhayader Town on Saturday.

The signing came about after Sky Soccer Saturday host Jeff Stelling made fun of the club losing heavily to local rivals Waterloo Rovers on Boxing Day.

To make amends, Stelling sent 'Kammy' to the town on Saturday to help their plight. Kamara, who played for Leeds United, Stoke City and Bradford City, played central midfield for the Spar Mid Wales league side, but they ended up losing 6-1.

David Jones, Welshpool Town's manager, said: "He was a great help and he gave us a team talk before the game and it was a great experience."

Footage of the game will be shown on Saturday. Kamara's identity had been kept a closely guarded secret by show bosses, but he was seen meeting fans in Oswestry on Friday night and Saturday morning.

He announced his return on Twitter. Later he added: "Lovely people at Welshpool came in numbers to see the game. Everybody in Oswestry & Welshpool were 1st class, pleasure to be there."
