That took some balls from sol but he & everyone else knew he was wasting his time at the spuds. He now has the winners medals to look back on & know he made the correct decision. He will always be an invincible legend. Respect sol.

@@lancedsouza1547 difference is that arsenal fans don't sing songs or hold grudges against Cole and van persie like how youse still do about Sol. Tottenham fans have never moved on from Sol leaving. Even arsenal's worst period has still resulted in silverware compared to Tottenhams best period with no silverware.

One of the best days I’ve had being an arsenal fan. Remember coming home and my brother smiling at me. He told me to check teletext. I could see from the cheeky smile something big had happened. Checked the text and there it was. CAMPBELL IS A GOONER. Monumental signing, knew we were about to kick on again. Beautiful

I remember this moment so well, had just finished year 11 and my GCSEs, sitting at home kicking my heels, watching Sky Sports News and it had been said all morning that Richard Wright's press conference was coming up. But that moment where they cut to it and Sol Campbell walked out is a memory etched in my mind; genuine stunned silence. Because nothing is a secret nowadays, you can pretty much guarantee there will never be another transfer like this in the history of football. I thought he was off to Bayern Munich, but now, for better or worse, you'd have the likes of Fabrizio Romano and social media on the case. This transfer is one of the many parts which makes the 2001/02 season my favourite as an Arsenal fan; even with the likes of the Invincibles season, etc.

Least he captained Spurs to a League Cup final victory. Did his part and left for greener pastures.
Just saw Francis Jeffers in the video and i cant get around my head that he at least won 2 trophies with Arsenal but Harry Kane is still gasping for trophy.
He is an Arsenal legend we have not replaced till today, he is still amazing in my team playing PES 2021
Sol Campbell an Arsenal legend!!!!
Can hear expressions crying already
2021: " Harry, I thought you were going to be Andre Onana!?"
I’m actly happy we had him.. he seems like he was an really important player in 04 season
I thought maybe one day Harry Kane would return to Arsenal and best this moment. Don’t think anything like this will happen anytime soon because of the internet and social media.
He just wanted to play at TOP level 😁

Yep 😊😊 Tottenham unfortunately doesn’t provide that top level 😢
But nothing can top the signing of Arsene Wenger ...charming,Charismatic and oozing class in every frame.
I’ll never forget the excitement that day. No one knew it was coming and when Sol walked out it was unbelievable! They’ll never be another one like that again
That was even bigger than bringing Kane over for free would be now! Arsene Wenger's pull, even on no money, is unmatched!
I nearly shat my pants when I heard this news! What a day that was.
Imagine being Richard Wright 😭😭
What a story..i just love it...BEST TRANSFER BUSINESS EVER DONE
Thought u were welcoming a new player for a second lmao.
Sol had a winning mentally. This makes even more sense in light of the scenes at Spurs against Man City where fans wanted to lose.
What a legend!
Sometimes you have to make a big move and history shows he made the right decision he became an Arsenal legend and invincible and Wenger got the best out of him. In the meantime, the Spuds still have not won the league it's now 61 years since they last won it thank God I was born in Islington! I have to say the club has never replaced David Dein he was just as important as Wenger he made things happen he got the right people in we still miss his influence at the club. Thank You David for all that you did.

From the spud fans was very angry and hater for sol campbell sign for Arsenal. I remember and was best free signing.. sol Campbell was a beast.
ARSENAL MUST GET THIS RUTHLESS AGAIN!!
Sol, Kolo, Lauren, Cole and Lehmann all together cost less than 20 millions about half what United paid for Ferdinand alone and Arsene Wenger went invincible with them in defence! That was our manager and some didn't appreciate him, yet the kid wasting the 30m Saliba now is a great manager with a process we should trust! The only good thing we had was the manager. Now we have a better squad than we used to but without a manager. I'd just beg Arsene Wenger to come back at this point!
