Christmas parties go bad. The Knowledge is off for a festive lie down, but will be back on 8 JanuaryMail us your questions or tweet @TheKnowledge_GU“I see Chris Kamara has released a Christmas album, which led me to wonder if any football teams have ever released a Christmas record?” asks David Wesley. “QPR released this oddity but as a lip-sync it wouldn’t have been released.”
Unbelievable though it may seem Jeff readers, Kamara has indeed released an album of festive songs but, much like his pitchside reporting for Soccer Saturday, his overexcitement has affected his performance in the charts. By releasing Here’s To Christmas in November it would appear that he has peaked too soon – at No 8 in the album charts last month – and has slipped down the top 100 to No 64 at the time of publication. Kamara’s velvet singing voice is worlds away from the yelping character we see trying to make sense of football matches every weekend and when he was given the opportunity to warble into a microphone in a more tuneful manner he could not pass it up.
