Very moving video, I didn't know he had this issue. For a man so full of life and enjoyment of his profession it's such a shame, hope he gets the medical help he deserves and can be cured.

So sad to see him like that and hopefully he can get better. heartbreaking to see a guy who became a household name with his punditry (good / bad) now at times struggling to speak.

It got a fair bit of publicity a few months when he gave up the Sky gig. As said, it's terribly sad.

Ah man, what a horrible thing to go through. I've never even heard of that condition before.

Sad to see. I'm not a football fan so don't know him as a footballer, but more of a TV presenter. His exuberance and enthusiasm defined him so is awful to see him robbed of that.

Unfortunately there is no 'cure' for apraxia, especially that acquired later in life, only therapies to help manage the condition.

It's really sad to see this. I first became aware of Kammy when he was appointed manager at Bradford, he seemed a breath of fresh air with his candid, open approach to questions. It was no surprise to see him make such an easy and entertaining transition to the media, sometimes I used to tune in to Soccer Saturday just to be entertained by him.

That explains cash under the attack, I thought he was speaking slowly

I had the pleasure of walking with him (& Jeff Stelling) on a Prostrate Cancer walk last year.
Such a funny and interesting bloke.

Loved Soccer AM when it was the full show with him co-hosting.

Middlesbrough fans yesterday I believe
