Kevin Campbell has died aged 54, his former club Arsenal have confirmed.
Campbell played up front for clubs including Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Everton, scoring 148 goals in 542 club games across an almost 20-year career at the top. After hanging up his boots in May 2007, Campbell went on to enjoy a successful media career working for, among others, Sky Sports. Sky Sports News paid tribute to Campbell: 'Kevin Campbell was a superb striker and a fans favourite everywhere he played.
Campbell - whose son Tyrese played for Stoke City between 2018 and 2024 - scored 60 goals in 224 appearances for George Graham's Gunners side, before joining Forest in the summer of 1995, while he also spent the 1998-99 season at Trabzonspor. However, his time in Turkey was short-lived, with Everton initially bringing him back to the Premier League on loan in March 1999 to aid their relegation battle.
