Sol Campbell believes his status as an “icon” of English football demands recognition and says he is baffled by being overlooked once more in the new year honours list.
The former England, Arsenal and Tottenham defender became embroiled in a Twitter row on Tuesday after again failing to gain notice despite, he says, winning two Premier League titles and being the first black player to score for England in a World Cup. The 48-year-old is also involved in charity work.
