Arise Sir Sol Campbell (P14)

[The blue phantom]

Sol Campbell was a fine Centre half for pretty much all of his career mate...not sure why you feel the need to have a downer on his playing career....??

He was a brilliant centre half.

Scored a cracker against the argies only to be dubiously disallowed. If I remember correctly for England

You've got to start somewhere

Because he was said to have climbed on another players back ..to reach a header....but the player was his own team mate!
No foul...but ref disallowed...still dont understand that decision.

If you climb on another player’s back, whether an opponent or teammate, it’s a foul.

He did say by the time he retired which is true. He was fat, slow and starting to concentrate on politics

Lots of folk arent at their best by the time they retire esp after a long
career in football...so whats your point?

Ronaldo(brazilian) Maradona Rooney....any different
He might be a bit up himself...so was Big Mal and he went from the sublime to the ridiculous in management terms..but those of us who were there sang his name loud and clear at Blackpool away,the week he died...
Campbell was a great defender .solid,great tackler,very good in the air,very calm under pressure and with pace to burn...and a fantastic reader of the game.deserves a bit more respect from some on here..if they really understand their football.never let england down ..80 odd caps says it all
So what if he put a few pounds towards the end.....??
Best of luck to the lad in management.hope he shuts a few folk up. Good on you Sol.

I always thought it was Shearer jumping up with his elbows impeding the goalkeeper

You may be right...

That is correct - the term is ''using an unfair advantage''
