Kevin Campbell RIP SUPER KEV

[Cork Evertonian]

This is awful sad news. We have had very few legends post 1995, but Super Kev was one of them.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends right now.

RIP Super Kevin Campbell a true Blue, a great player and most importantly of all a wonderful person as well.

Feels like one of those "You don't know what you've got til it's gone" moments.

Might sound daft because there was so much mutual love between him and our fans...but it feels like it's only today, reflecting on his life and career, I fully realise how special he was to us.

Thanks for everything Super Kev.

When I was 10 or so, I thought about stopping supporting Everton cos they were terrible. My dad, who is an Ipswich fan, took me to three Everton home games in a row to stop me from changing teams and I think he scored 3 in 3 of them

Your dad sounds like a top bloke. Not only for keeping you an Evertonian but for not forcing Ipswich on you instead!

RIP Super Kev, your place in blue heaven is assured.

God bless.

For those of you who weren't around back then, i can't emphasise enough the difference he made in 1999.

Our goose was well and truly cooked until Super Kev arrived to save us.

I also had serious respect for him, for sticking it to the Everton board a few years ago as well.

Putting aside his herculean efforts to keep our club in the top flight whether it’s stories , vids , photos from mates or random internet videos of him singing or the stuff outside goodison of him soaking up the adulation it certainly illustrates the bloke was an absolute star and almost the exception to the rule in modern football. with time for everyone he encountered , a love for the club and a gentleman to boot.

I’ve had a other fans and even reds message me genuine sympathy and which just shows there isn’t anyone out there with a bad word to say about the fella , that in itself is some eulogy and I hope of some comfort to his family .

RIP Super Kev , legend

Desperately sad news and I echo all the tributes and memories that have been shared on this thread.

I was privileged to see him play many times for Everton including his first game as Everton captain…a landmark day in our history.

My abiding memory is meeting him in one of the Goodison lounges in the first game of the 2013-14 season(Martinez first season) and Everton were playing West Brom. Everything he said and did in that lounge that day was so genuine and heartfelt and he could not have been more accommodating with all supporters including me and my teenage son…the enthusiasm and infectious laugh when talking to him left us feeling a little bit better about life when he moved to another table.
It’s a special type of person who leaves the sort of personal legacy that he did in all the clubs he played for.

RIP Super Kevin Campbell.

Ian Wright looked in bits just then and was doing everything to hold it together

I don’t normally get saddened by the death of people I don’t personally know but I certainly am sad about this.
