Camara never won a regular spot at Liverpool but will be remembered for tearfully scoring the winner against West Ham in 1999, on the day his father had died.
Pushed out of contention at Anfield by the summer signing of Emile Heskey, Camara failed to make the first-team squad at all and in December he was sold to West Ham United. He went on to make his debut in the Premiership fixture at Leicester but only featured in half-a-dozen games for the Hammers before being sidelined by a knee injury. A fast and direct forward his best performance came in the FA Cup third round tie at Walsall when he combined well with Frank Lampard in the 3-2 victory.
