Those of us who remember Campbell's career at Spurs will never forgive him for what he did to us.
He kicked us while we were down.
What many forget is how utterly shit Campbell was at the start of his career.
He was one of the worst young centre forwards I have ever seen representing the club. He was truly hopeless.
He was a tall, strong athlete with very little footballing ability. Terrible first touch.
Sol Campbell, as a striker, made Carlton Cole look like Pele.
Spurs persevered with him, after his initial masquerade as a centre forward, and gave the prick a chance by integrating him into the team as a left back.
Gary Mabbutt babysat him and talked him through each game; step by step.
The supporters gave him vocal support for the same reasons we love Harry Kane.
Campbell eventually began to fill in all across the back line under Mabbutt's guidance.
Campbell did not become a great player overnight. It took several seasons.
He replaced Mabbutt as club captain. He held that role at the time he walked across the NLD divide.
Spurs management, coaching staff, playing staff and supporters played a huge role in making Sol Campbell the player he became.
I'm not sure who mentored Campbell on personal integrity and moral perspective.
Sol Campbell understood the gravity of what he did.
He needs to own it.
