I don’t think I’ve ever been so upset at a player passing as I have with Kevin Campbell. Maybe it’s because he’s of my generation, don’t know. This has hit quite hard though and by the outpouring of genuine, heartfelt grief through the football world - fans, players etc - can only be seen as a mark of a great man. RIP Super Kev.

I agree Pierre, terrible news mate.
I remember walking through Manchester and Kev had come out of a building about 20 yards down the street and was walking towards me. I could tell it was him straight away.
As I walked past I simply said "Super Kev, how's things mate, are you well" whilst patting him on the shoulder, without either of us breaking a stride and carrying on to where we were heading.
His response "I'm alright geez, how are you fella".
I had always seen him as a genuine, nice. down to earth bloke and that short exchange confirmed everything.
He will be sorely missed. RIP Kevin.

The good die young, a true club hero up there with dunc as a 90s legend without him where would we be today. RIP.

The world needs more Kevin Campbell's. Nice guy always smiling, and always had time for the fans.

Sad times. Not only a great player for us but a top bloke too. Not long listened to his two appearances on the under the cosh podcast, worth a watch/ listen if you get time.
RUP Super Kev, taken far too soon.
