Chris Kamara, one of football's most popular figures, has received his MBE for services to football, charity and anti-racism.
The former footballer turned presenter received an MBE at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, describing it as "unbelievable" - a nod to his famous catchphrase during his time on Soccer Saturday.
The 65-year-old played for nine English professional clubs in a career spanning 20 years before going on to manage Bradford and Stoke.
In more recent years he became best known for his work as a pundit and presenter on Sky Sports.
There was a huge outpouring of support for Kamara on social media when he went public about his apraxia of speech (AOS) diagnosis, saying he felt "a fraud" as a broadcaster having learned he had the condition.
"It feels unbelievable!" Kammy told Sky Sports. "It's a great family occasion to be there with Prince William and talk football with him for a good five minutes. It couldn't have been any better.
"My charity work is very important to me. I've always wanted to work with Marie Curie and raise money for them as they looked after my mum. Thankfully, I've been a patron for 14 years and been involved in raising over £3m
