Arsenal football club is saddened by the passing of former player and striker, Kevin Campbell.
The club is mourning the loss of one of their own gunner players who just died at age 54.
He was recently admitted to hospital with sepsis.
Born in Lambeth in February 1970, Kevin Campbell began his football career with Arsenal, joining the first team at Highbury in 1988 following an impressive junior scoring record.
During his time with the Gunners, he netted 59 goals in 224 appearances and helped the team secure the 1990-91 league title, the FA Cup, the League Cup, and the European Cup Winners’ Cup.
After his stint at Arsenal, Campbell moved to Nottingham Forest and later had a season with Turkish side Trabzonspor.
In 1999, he joined Everton, where he is fondly remembered for scoring nine goals in five games, a remarkable feat that helped the club avoid relegation.
Fans also cherish his decisive goal in a memorable Merseyside derby victory at Anfield, Everton’s last win at their rival’s ground for 22 years.
