Campbell scored 148 goals in 542 appearances across spells with eight clubs during his career.

Everton said earlier this month he became ill in May and was "very unwell" in hospital.

"We are devastated to learn that our former striker Kevin Campbell has died after a short illness," said Arsenal.
"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."

Everton said: "Everyone at Everton is deeply saddened by the death of our former striker Kevin Campbell at the age of just 54.
"Not just a true Goodison Park hero and icon of the English game, but an incredible person as well - as anyone who ever met him will know. RIP, Super Kev."

RIP Kevin

R.I.P Kevin, thoughts go out to his family

RIP

RIP. If I remember correctly when we signed him, he wasn’t the player he was in his prime, far from it and coming to the end of his career. But one of the big reasons we signed him was because he was such a great character and would be great man to have around the place

Thats correct, he was right at the end of his career and played in the 2006/7 season. He was 36 when we signed him and though apparently he played 19 times for us i think most of those must have been as a sub because Chopra and Steve Thompson were the main strikers that season.

Sad News RIP .
