Then partner Ian Milsom,30,was watching Jeff Steeling’s on Sky’s Gillette Soccer Special and she screamed “That’s Him,It’s Ollie!” when Kammy’s distinctive fizz-hog appeared on the screen.
She was stunned how with the same dark curly hair,warm brown eyes and toothy grin her mutt and the former Bradford City manager and Leeds midfielder were dopplegangers.
And shown pictures of the goofy hound Kammy himself was stunned by the likeness and reckoned he and the Rover must have been “separated at birth.”
Kammy said last night : “Of course I see the resemblance except he’s better looking than me.

“He’s got more hair than me and his teeth are whiter than mine. It’s so funny the way he smiles.
“When I get my false teeth I’m going to get them made exactly the same as that. He’s definitely got my nose.
“It’s a compliment that Ollie looks like me, it’s great.
“I love dogs and he’s fantastic, he’s really nice. We were definitely separated at birth.”

“When Ollie was featured on Crufts as a doggy doppelganger everyone was saying the resemblance was amazing.
Ollie is always smiling and he’s got the same big smile as Chris Kamara.

It’s uncanny how much they look alike.” Leah said: “It was me who first realised how much Ollie looks like Chris when Ian and I were watching Sky Sports and Chris appeared on the screen.“The likeness is uncanny and Ian agreed and thought it hilarious.”
She added:“I don’t know if they’ve got similar personalities but Chris seems very easy going.
“Ollie is really goofy and happy and he’s got a really loving side. He knows when you need a cuddle.
He’s amazing, the perfect family dog.”
