Thanks for that Wolfie, really good of you to let us know that you heard something.

Assuming you are being sarcastic?

When it emerged in the media Kevin was seriously ill I mentioned he had sepsis on here.

I've not seen it mentioned what his illness was anywhere else so I've not added anything to that since and not gone into details I heard which were horrible back then

And obviously sadly he's not recovered

Poor lad

Would you prefer me to gossip about what he was going through?

You basically said 'I've heard details about his illness that aren't public but I wont share them on here', which is totally pointless.

Good on you for not sharing them but it was a very Jom-esque post - except he only did it about transfer gossip and not ex-players who have died.
 
I only saw Kevin a couple of times in forest shirt, when I first started going regularly in 1998 or so. I think he scored in one. Really powerful striker, a bit like Awoniyi but actually fit.

I remember him going to Everton in the second half of the next season and scoring a bunch of goals (9 in 8 or something like that) to keep them up. I remember feeling so jealous of them having a striker as good as that, who could do things like that; and how utterly fucking ridiculous it had been for us to flog him to Trabzonspor for so little money 6 months earlier.

That is probably the most bizarre and ridiculous transfer decision made in Forest history I think, certainly recent history

I think he had a bit of time with them and a good career, we probably haven't had a striker as good as him until now

all the focus was on PVH and how he was not quite as good as SVC. Campbell just got on with his job and banged them in for fun. if we had him back now we would be top half. 25 years later and it still doesn't make sense why he was sold.

i was infomed that it was sepsis by the better half because I was possibly suffering with it myself. Soit must have been mentioned quite publcally somewhere. Luckily I dont think it is tho the doctor is pretty serious about getting rid of this wierd stupid infection
 
Coroner orders inquest. Campbell had multi organ failure due to endocarditis. Lost a lot of weight and had kidney failure. Manchester Trust failed in care. Reports reordered. They let you down Kev.
