Remembering Kevin Campbell

[Andrew Cole Linighan]

Heard that Kevin Campbell is in Hospital, with Kidney failure.
Wishing him all the Best.

All the best for Kevin and his family, that must be pretty scary for them all. I always remember him scoring a hat trick for us, was this the only 1 he scored for us @Andrew Cole Linighan


I enjoyed seeing him play well for Everton too.

Hopefully he can get a transplant to get over this illness, Best of luck to him.

Yes, I remember that game, 1993/94 season. Swindon Town, at the County Ground. We won 4 - 0, remember Ian Wright scoring that goal, I didn't realise Kevin Campbell scored a hat trick in that game, (not sure about other hat tricks he scored for Arsenal, TBH).

T'was his only hat-trick. Saw a lot of his goals in person as he broke into the team at the time I was regularly playing £4 to go in the North Bank...

I was lucky enough to be at Highbury 1994 CWC SF Super Kevin Campbell early goal and we held on won 2 1 agg......1 0 at Highbury, his the only goal.

Kevin absolutely unplayable coming through the ranks scored a huge amount of goals youth level.

Get well soon Kevin, know Everton fans also love him.

Never saw him play (for us at least) but looked a very important player during his time here, winner too.

A bit like the Wiltord of his time, kinda overshadowed by other forwards but still played a big part in trophies for us.

Seems a proper Arsenal man too, get well soon Kev

Kevin Campbell and Andrew Cole, both came through the Arsenal Youth ranks. Kevin had the build of a Heavy Weight Boxer, a strong presence up front, alongside Alan Smith, or Ian Wright.
Andrew Cole had a similar health issue a few years ago. He received a kidney donor operation.
Thinking of Kevin Campbell, and his Family, at this time.













I forgot that Kevin was at West Bromwich Albion. Didn't know that he was also at Cardiff City.

RIP It's sad he's passed so early. A good servant for Arsenal and after he left I enjoyed seeing his highlights for Everton

[Macho]

RIP Super Kev. Loved his positivity and whilst he was a bit before my time playing wise, I enjoyed his youtube content and punditry.

Very sad man.

 

[Rex Stone]

Nah this is awful. Followed him on Twitter and he seemed such a sound and enthusiastic guy. RIP.

 

[Riou]

Big part of that Graham generation that really helped put Arsenal back on the map again, an Arsenal fan who lived his biggest dream.

RIP Super Kev

Totally agree, he'd be wishing you a great day at 5am nearly every morning. Came across as a top bloke.

RIP Super Kev

Take care of yourselves guys & gals

Lots of kind words to read on Everton forums, big player for them. 54 years is no time to head to the stadium above...
