Kevin Campbell RIP SUPER KEV

[Joey66]

Just hope it's a routine thing, always speaking good of us - a great no 9 & captain for us ....

I wish I had met him, he's one of those people nobody has a bad word for him.
Most Turkish fans stood by him when he left after the abuse he received.
Watched his interviews and he's definitely a half glass full bloke.
Genuinely loves toffee fans and is rather humble about the huge impact he has had on our club.
I really hope he pulls through, there ain't many ex players that everyone respects.

I've had the pleasure of meeting the man twice, and both times he was humble, articulate and displayed a genuine and heart-felt love for the blues.

One of the occasions was the derby when Jagielka scored: he was doing commentary work for BT on the side of the pitch, and took time to come over and chat.

The other was in hospitality at Goodison, and we spoke for at least ten minutes - not rushed or awkward as they often are, but a real, honest conversation.

We mostly talk about greats players as those who win things, and rightly so, but in the modern era I make an exception when it comes to Kev.

The only other player worthy of the Everton Great tag over the past 30 years is Coleman. Pickford may get there if he stocks around.

Turns my sick when I see people harping on about Cahill or 'Big Dunc.'

Footnotes, at best.

Cahill was boss

Cahill was boss

I shan't derail the thread as it's ok to have different standards of what constitutes 'boss.'

 

[Groucho]

Is there anything official on this?

It's in a few Sunday papers

It's in a few Sunday papers

Seen a couple of Arsenal fans mention it's kidney issues.

Obviously I don't like speculating but just what I've seen mentioned.

 

[Jacob]

I'll never forget the impact he made for us. Two weeks after we buried our beloved 82 year old Evertonian Mum it was my birthday...a very sad one and my late Dad's birthday too. 27/9/99 and Kevin grabbed the winner to beat the RS. Sure Ma laid on the pass for him too. God Bless You Kevin...a great Evertonian and a true Gentleman.

I know, imagine people enjoying memories of the team they support, stomach turning indeed

 

[RFUS]

One of a handful of players to have made his mark on keeping us a top flight club. Absolute legend.

Really, really hope Super Kev pulls through.

Thoughts with you and your family kev. Hope you pull through
