Such sad news; football has lost a true gentleman. An Everton legend and a thorn in the side of the reds for both arsenal and everton. Truly respect by all in the city. A genuinely good guy. RIP Kevin and love to all your family & friends 💙❤️
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. 💙
