Kevin Campbell In Hospital “Seriously Ill”

[Sampson]

I know it’s been mentioned on other threads, but worth its own thread. Even if he was only here for a few months, he was a brilliant player in his brief time here who was head and shoulders above the rest of his teammates.

Awful news. May he pull through this. 

[Trav Le Bleu]

Arguably our best ever loan player.

 

Get well soon Kev, you can pull through.

[Tuna]

Get well soon super Kev always comes across well in media roles, thoroughly lovely bloke!

[Vlad the Fox]

First loan player I fell in love with. He was fantastic for us. Travelled all the way to Brighton for his last game with us which then got postponed, he was stood outside the ground chatting with fans, I shook his hand and was made up. Pull through Kevin there’s a lot of love for you in Leicester. 

[worksopfox]

Keep fighting Kev!!!

[Nolucklcfc]

Hope he pulls through 🤞

This is a confirmed false statement that's going around on social media and not from Kevin's family. As confirmed in the Everton statement 

 

Taken from the statement from Everyon.

 

"Everton also confirmed that a statement being shared on social media about the details of Campbell's condition was false and is "not from the family of our former Blues striker"

 

The above needs removing.

 

He is very ill though and praying he pulls through.

Hope he makes a full recovery. Still remember him walking around Filbert Street at the end of his loan spell with the scarves thrown from fans. One of the best loan players we've had.

Thank you, I have removed it

Preying for KC - was a huge beacon of light in the late 80s when we were pretty shite. 
 

Met him in a Nottingham nightclub and gave him a huge hug and told him I loved his time with us. He was a real gentleman (I was completely hammered) 
 

Hoping he pulls through. 

[bovril]

Shit. Great player and seems like a good guy. Hoping he pulls through and makes a full recovery. 

[surrifox]

Sorry to hear this . I remember when we landed him and Moran (?) on loan that it was a fantastically exciting time for the club . Keep fighting Kevin

I’ve already removed it. Campbell is in hospital seriously ill and fighting for his life though.

Worked in a Notts hotel mnay moons ago. All the new forest signings stayed there until they found permanent digs. 

 

Of all the footballers I met there, and there were many, he was one of the nicest. Always polite, always had time for people, just a genuinely nice fella. 

 

I remember one evening a group of nurses having a pop at him for earning so much for kicking a ball around. You know the kind of thing. The way he dealt with that situation just always stuck with me. 

 

Brilliant player but a better bloke. 

 

 

[themightyfin]

He came at the same time as Paul Moran if I remember right 

Campbell made a big impact and was a fans favourite with regular calls of sign him on. 

There was a rumour we put a £800,00 bid in but I don't think Arsenal were ever seriously going to consider selling him.

 

We were crap at the time. But he obviously had talent. 

Went onto have a great career.  

Get well soon. 

 

[Pita]

Hope he get better soon    Great player

i remember part of the loan deal was that we would NOT put in an offer for him and unsettle him when the loan had finished. we did anyway .

 

Hiwever, it was my understanding that the offer was 400k. Which was still a lot of money for us at the time.

[Torten]

Get well soon Kev

[Fox92]

Get well soon, hope he recovers.

 

I met him on holiday years ago and he was great, very welcoming. 

[sylofox]

Reports just coming out he's passed.

 

RIP Kevin.

Yes, his Wiki page says he's died today. Also, the young Millwall keeper.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Horrible news, remember watching Kev play at Blackburn away during his loan spell and he was unplayable that day, absolutely bullied their defenders with his power and pace, had we been able to extend his loan to the end of the season, I honestly believe we would have gone up, he transformed that Pleat side and gave us a real cutting edge. 
 

RIP Kev 🦊
