Kevin Campbell, the former Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Everton striker, has died at the age of 54. Campbell’s death was announced almost two weeks after it was revealed he was in hospital with a serious illness. He was a hugely popular figure within the game, a league title winner with Arsenal and a charismatic TV pundit in more recent years.
“We are devastated to learn that our former striker Kevin Campbell has died after a short illness,” Arsenal tweeted. “Kevin was adored by everyone at the club. All of us are thinking of his friends and family at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Kevin.”
