Kevin Campbell RIP SUPER KEV


That Turkish president did. Disgraceful language and luckily became available so the get out of jail free card for 98/99 as things were looking very bleak at the time.

Played only 8 games in the run in and scored 9! Then 12 from 26 prem games the next season.

Goals dried up a bit after but as said he was pretty good as that experienced battering ram when Moyes first came in, I bet Rooney certainly appreciated his wisdom and hold up play breaking through that season. 10 goals in 02/03 which was a decent season after several poor ones.

He was everything Dion Dublin would've been if he'd been signed in the mid 90s as they both had similar careers. Surprised he didn't recieve a full England cap in the 90s but then there was loads of competition in that era compared to now.
He was really good in the 2nd season if not as prolific, think the injury he got that year took a bit from him. Never seemed able to get that playing weight back with a natural hugely muscled frame. No doubt when you hear him talk he became a toffee

Younger forum members might not know, but when Super Kev arrived we were not just fighting against relegation but was also grappling with severe financial difficulties. The club's future was uncertain, and the spectre of relegation loomed large - a fate that could have had potentially irreversible consequences for our club.

Kevin’s impact was nothing short of miraculous. He didn’t just score goals; he scored important goals. But his influence went beyond just keeping us up. The financial implications of relegation at that time could have been catastrophic, possibly even "terminal" for the club considering the financial strains we were under.

His leadership as a captain and his charismatic presence both on and off the pitch revitalised the team and gave us hope during those dark days. His contributions during this critical period cannot be overstated - and for a lot of us he was the saviour that kept the club afloat.

Everton owes him a great deal.
