[75] He, and a team of Football League ambassadors, including Brendan Rodgers, Aidy Boothroyd, and Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson managed to raise £385, 000 for the charity and to climb to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Kamara became an Ambassador of the Special Olympics Great Britain Organisation in April 2011 after taking part in the Special Olympics Unity Cup as a celebrity partner before the Germany v Argentina quarter-final match in Cape Town, during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
He and Gibson regularly attended matches together. [7] He joined the Royal Navy at age 16, at the insistence of his father, himself a former naval mariner. [8] In doing so he missed the youth cup final for Middlesbrough Boys, though he went on to play for the Royal Navy's football team. [9] He was trained at HMS Raleigh at Torpoint[10] and later transferred to HMS Vernon. [11] Playing career[edit] Kamara's football career started when he was spotted playing for the Navy by Portsmouth manager Ian St John, who signed him on apprentice wages in November 1974 after agreeing to pay the Navy a £200 buy-out fee.

[46] He also signed Brazilian striker Edinho and former England international Chris Waddle on free transfers. [47] He remained at Valley Parade until he left the club in January 1998. [1] He and chairman Geoffrey Richmond had fallen out over Richmond's insistence on becoming heavily involved in the club's transfer policy. [48] He recommended his assistant Paul Jewell to be his successor, who went on to have his own highly successful spell as Bradford's manager. [49] Stoke City[edit] On 22 January 1998, he was appointed manager of one of his former clubs, Stoke City, and arrived with bold intentions at the Britannia Stadium stating that he would build a squad good enough to take the club into the Premier League.
He was also a commentator for 2005's This Is Football, alongside Peter Drury. Kamara was formerly the chairman of the panel which chooses the Football League Championship Manager of the Month award, [72] but left the role for the beginning of the 2009–10 season. Charity work[edit] Kamara was inducted into the Show Racism the Red Card Hall of Fame in 2004. [73] As a player, he suffered years of severe racial abuse. [74] Since May 2010 Kamara has been a national ambassador for Marie Curie, fronting the Charity of the Season partnership with the Football League in 2010/2011. In December 2011 he received 'The Above & Beyond in Memory of Sir Bill Cotton award' for his contributions to the charity.
[1] However, with Stoke already in serious relegation trouble in 1997–98, Kamara sold their only player of real value, Andy Griffin to Newcastle United. [1] He fell out with Chief Executive Jez Moxey over how to spend the proceeds of the sale; Moxey wanted Marco Gabbiadini but Kamara vetoed the deal. [50] He instead spent £350, 000 on Coventry City striker Kyle Lightbourne. [51] In his 14 games in charge with the "Potters", only one was won and he was dismissed on 8 April 1998. [52] In Kamara's three months in charge, Stoke could not recover from their poor form and were relegated to the third tier.
[14] He went on to play regular football at Fratton Park in the 1975–76 season as "Pompey" were relegated out of the Second Division in last place. The club avoided relegation out of the Third Division by a single point in 1976–77, after which new manager Jimmy Dickinson sold Kamara to Third Division rivals Swindon Town for £14, 000. [15] Upon joining Swindon he was sent death threats by Portsmouth supporters, and was given police escorts to the County Ground. [16] He scored on his debut against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, but was frequently left out of the starting eleven by manager Danny Williams during the 1977–78 campaign. [17] New boss Bobby Smith took the "Robins" to within three points of promotion in 1978–79, and then the semi-finals of the League Cup in 1979–80. John Trollope replaced Smith as manager following a dismal start to the 1980–81 campaign, and he sold Kamara back to Portsmouth for £50, 000.
