A very sad day for Football.

The news that Kevin Campbell has died at a relatively young age is very sad. Condolences to his family, friends & former teammates.

RIP Kevin.

 

i noticed tweets by alan shearer and ian wright, its a very sad day. rest in peace kevin campbell.

Willie Carlin, Matijja Sarkic and now Kevin Campbell. The loss of three players in such a short time, truly Heart Breaking.

May they All Rest In Peace. 

He was a fine player, even admired by our nearest rivals. His time at Arsenal proved his skill, and he was an excellent forward. Rest in Peace, Kevin Campbell.

 

1993, is the point where I remember watching Arsenal on TV and liking their kit (well their socks). I will never forget the electrifying moments when I witnessed cup matches, where the unstoppable duo of Ian Wright and Kevin Campbell, occasionally joined by the immensely talented Alan Smith, left an indelible mark on my memory. I know a year earlier, Arsenal had allowed David Rocastle to leave, who also died young (33).

Kevin Campbell was a very hard-working striker, who scored some wonderful goals in the Premier League.

I am surprised that the national news seems to be overlooking the time at Nottingham Forest, as he helped them regain their Premier League status. At Everton, he did well but I felt he was more threatening whilst with our nearest neighbours.

Rest in Peace, Kevin Campbell.

He was quite vocal in support of Forest and remained loyal during their drop to the old First Division. A very capable striker with a quick turn of speed. Despite being a Premier League player, he often went unnoticed when compared to the likes of Robbie Fowler, Dion Dublin, Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, and others.

Rest in Peace, Kevin Campbell.

Rest in Peace, Kevin Campbell.

 

His passing was a sad loss to football.
