I don’t understand Sol Campbell.
He’s been capped for England 73 times. He was part of the only modern day unbeaten top flight team with the Arsenal. And he scored the glorious goal for the Gunners in the 2006 Champions League Final.
And at 35 years of age, while his chances for further glory may be dwindling, you’ve got to think there could be one more grab at the brass ring.
Yet, he signs with League Two Notts County… on a 5-year-deal no less!
No disrespect to Notts County, I know nothing of them other than they are in League Two. Well, and that Sven is on board.
So the buzz is, that it is for future managerial considerations… and £40,000 a week.
But before you can convince yourself that those reasons are valid, Sol plays one match for Notts County, and quits.
In all fairness, one can certainly imagine that after standing next to the likes of Kolo Toure and Rio Ferdinand, and heading home in Paris with a TV audience over a billion, it must be quite difficult to find yourself in a stadium that holds 20,000 people.
I can’t wait to see what he does next.
It’s all fascinating stuff from a guy who is quite mysterious in the world of milk-and-water footballers.
