Gregory Robert Campbell (born 13 July 1965) [2] is an English former footballer who played as a forward for West Ham United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Sparta Rotterdam, Plymouth Argyle and Northampton Town.

Playing career

Born in Portsmouth, Campbell started his football career in the youth team at West Ham United [3] making his first team debut on 4 September 1984 in a 3–1 home win against Coventry City. [4] In his second game, against Watford he suffered a broken jaw and did not play first-team football until 24 August 1985. The success of Tony Cottee and Frank McAvennie as West Ham's main strikers particularly during season 1985-86, meant Campbell played only two more games for West Ham. [2] [5] In the 1987–88 season he had a loan period with Brighton & Hove Albion playing only two games and a loan with Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam. [5] [6] In 1988, he left West Ham and joined Plymouth Argyle making his debut in November 1988 in a 6–2 defeat by Chelsea in the 1st round of the Simod Cup. [5] [7] [8] He remained with Plymouth for only two seasons before moving to his last club, Northampton Town in 1990, to work with former teammate, Bobby Barnes. [9] Again lasting only two seasons, Campbell retired from the game in 1992. [10] Campbell is the son of former Fulham, Portsmouth and Chelsea manager, Bobby Campbell. [11]
