Sad news , great player , should have been capped for England. Way too young to go. RIP.

Gutted to hear this. Admired him when he was at Arsenal, but when he turned up at Goodison he was loved almost instantaneously and kept us up at least once. One of the few players I can think of that made everyone else look better than they were.

RIP Kevin

He was a good guy, liked and respected by fans from whatever team. RIP Super Kev.

Yeah sad to hear that this morning along with Sarkic also dying.

I have very fond memories of Campbell.

Absolute legend for Everton. Without him, they probably would have gone down - it wasn't a good period for them. Plus he scored in a Merseyside derby and that's always a plus.

Lovely man as well, according to people who've met him.

His dad used to play Dominos in that pub in Loughborough Junction that became a jazz bar and then closed. I can't remember his name.

He was a lovely guy with a massive smile. No wonder his son was so well respected.

The Campbell smile is hereditary, judging by Tyrese. There's another little Campbell too called Kyle, who looks more like his dad. He's in non-league.
