The 54-year-old Albion hero Campbell was a huge figure in English football during the 1990s. He had a profound influence at every club he played for, but none more so than The Hawthorns, where he spent the final 18 months of his career and was the driving force behind one of the greatest Great Escapes. In 2007, Campbell retired from competitive racing, but he continued to play. He was a pundit for Premier League football, both domestically and internationally, and he was a staunch advocate of his son Tyrese, a striker who departed Stoke this summer.
Early in June, word spread that the Everton supporters dubbed him “Super Kev,” who had become gravely ill. Then, late on Saturday morning, it was officially reported that Campbell, who had previously played for Cardiff, Everton, Leyton Orient, Leicester, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, and Trabzonspor, had lost his fight with illness.
