Tributes have been paid to a former professional footballer who later worked in schools following his sudden death at the age of 45.
Neil Campbell passed away on Saturday (April 30) after becoming unwell at a restaurant during an incident that sparked a large emergency response, TeessideLive reports. Despite the efforts of medics in the north-east town of Yarm, they were unable to save the dad-of-two's life.
During his career, Neil - a striker - played for several clubs including in the Football League with the likes of York City, Scarborough and Southend United. He also played non-league football for Leigh RMI, Doncaster Rovers and Barrow before becoming assistant manager at local club Thornaby FC last season.
