Born: December 25, 1957 in Middlesbrough
Best Known For: Being a footballer and a football pundit.
Early-life: Christopher Kamara was born in Middlesbrough on December 25, 1957 to Albert and Irene. His father was from Sierra Leone. Being one of the few black families in his neighbourhood, he suffered a lot of racist abuse. Chris joined the Royal Navy when he was 16 and he was spotted playing football for the Navy by Portsmouth manager Ian St John, who signed him in November 1974 after paying the Navy's £200 buy-out fee. Chris made his first team debut for Portsmouth in August 1975. He was sold to Swindon in 1977 and went on to make 147 appearances for the club.
Career: Kamara returned to Portsmouth in 1981 for a brief spell before moving on to Brentford in the same year. A second spell at Swindon between 1985 and 1988 was followed by stints at Stoke City, Leeds United and Luton. He joined Bradford City as a player-coach in 1994 and was appointed manager of the club in November 1995. He had a disastrous spell as manager of Stoke City in 1998. Since then he has been a football pundit for Sky Sports. In April 2015, he began co-presenting ITV game show Ninja Warrior UK alongside Ben Shephard and Rochelle Humes.
Quote: 'It's real end-to-end stuff, but unfortunately it's all up at Forest's end.'
Trivia: Kamara was inducted into the Show Racism the Red Card Hall of Fame in 2004.
Judy Murray (Contestant)
Born: September 08, 1959 in Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire
Best Known For: Being Andy Murray's mother.
Early-life: Born Judith Erskine in Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire, on September 8, 1959 to Roy and Eileen. Her father, Roy Erskine, played football for Stirling Albion in the 1950s before becoming an optician. He was also a keen tennis player. When Judy was growing up, the tennis scene in Scotland was very small and very few women were playing competitively. Judy won 64 Scottish titles but the coaching and financial support she needed to compete professionally simply wasn't available. She qualified as a tennis coach at the age of 17 and went on to study French and business at Edinburgh University.
Career: Murray got the opportunity to be the Scottish national tennis coach in 1995. She initially identified a number of children between the ages of seven and 11 who could benefit from coaching, including her sons Jamie and Andy. Not only was she their coach, she drove them to tournaments all around the UK. Since then, she has coached a number of aspiring tennis players. In 2011, she was appointed as the captain of Great Britain's team in the Federation Cup. In 2013, she watched Andy win Wimbledon. He has won more than $30million in career prize money. Jamie has also had a successful professional tennis career, specialising in doubles. He won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in 2007. In 2014, Judy signed up to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
Quote: 'I've always been competitive. I'm like Andy, or maybe he's like me - I wear my heart on my sleeve.'
Trivia: Judy was awarded an honorary Doctorate by the University of Edinburgh in 2013.
