Before we signed Campbell EVERY big club in England and Europe was fighting for his signature, I don't know what Wenger must of said to get him to join us but was one of the biggest shock transfers ever.
Even on his return in 09/10 for us he was fantastic, disappointed he didn't stay another year. Remember him chasing Bale down and tackling him, not the quickest initial acceleration but once he got going I think there were few who could outrun him. Such a shame what happened in 05/06, think he had some personal issues that got to him. If we had kept him for a few more years we wouldn't of had as many CB issues like we did that is for sure. Could of played at the top level until he was 35, immense defender.
