Judas has retired. GOOD RIDDANCE.

Happy Retirement Judas Scum. An Open Letter.







Despite not having played for 409 days, Campbell has crawled out of his
hole to announce he is retiring from football. Every time he played
against us, he was subject to abuse. Homophobic & racist comments
aside, he deserved it. The world's media and by osmosis, the world,
fails to understand why exactly he was treated like he was. In an
attempt to educate those who are not educated in the subject, it is not
simply the fact that he played for Spurs and then Arsenal. It's more
than that...

A nurtured product of the White Hart Lane academy
system, Campbell made his Spurs debut against Chelsea in December 1992.
He captained Tottenham to League Cup glory in 1999 but at the end of the
2000/2001 season Campbell's contract expired. Spurs had offered him a
contract which would have made him the club's highest paid player ever,
but after months of negotiations and despite several public assurances
that he would stay at Spurs including in an interview with the Spurs
Monthly magazine that he would never play for Arsenal, he had run his
contract down and Campbell joined our biggest rivals Arsenal, on a free
transfer.

From a financial point of view, it was a sh*tty way to treat the club
that had developed and nurtured him into one of the best center backs in
the world. He could have gone anywhere, and for multiple millions of
pounds going some way paying back the investment Tottenham had put into
him. Not to mention giving the club the oppourtunity to replace him with
another high calibre player.

I get that football is football, it's a cut-throat business. But from an
emotional point of view, he was a Tottenham legend. He still would have
been if he had gone anywhere else. But a combination of him saying he
wouldn't leave, wouldn't ever play for Arsenal and then running his
contract down and joining Arsenal on a free was just a massive slap in
the face to those fans that had worshipped him.

Sol, you would have been a Spurs legend if you'd stayed, you still would
have been if you'd left the country on a free, you probably even would
have been if you'd gone to Arsenal and been honest about wanting to play
Champions League from the start. It would have been a bitter pill to
swallow, but we would have accepted that. But you didn't. You screwed
the club, you screwed the fans, dug your own grave and have had to
suffer the consequences.

Happy retirement you Judas Scum.

My God you dont half fall out with players

Believe me I can understand how you all feel about Campbell but I think he was one of the best central defenders this club has had. My first choice?, hard to choose between Norman and England, I think I would go for England then Norman. I would put Campbell as my third choice simply because I think he was a more solid defender than Ledley although of course injury has stopped Ledley playing to his full potential but I would still go with Campbell being my third choice for one of the greatest central defenders the club has ever had.

I don't think Campbell falls into the category of GREAT Len , greatness is not judged by how one performs on the pitch but how one performs on & off the pitch , he stabbed this club in the back , campbell was a good defender but not Great , greatness is earned .

Seems to me Len is making a fair point about Campbell's contribution over the eight seasons he turned out for you

I appreciate most Spuds fans would like to erase that contribution but at the time he was your top defender

The big question remains Vis is why the contract ran down to zero

Extraordinary


Ask Sugar - or was it Levy ?

I echo the writer of the above article once again.

Happy retirement you Judas Scum.

Bit difficult to know quite where Ledley fitted in as he played so rarely at the highest level, internationally or in club football - good player certainly but not really one of the greats

Perhaps Sol and Ledley can have a joint retirement party - I cant see Ledley getting another contract can you ?


Such is the two way street known as "loyalty"

Very true Baz - probably as many thick as shite Arsenal supporters screaming Judas as at Spuds

Some supporters get a much bigger hard on abusing players than actually watching football or supporting their team - foaming at the mouth with their racists and homophobic filth from 27 rows back

Put em one to one with Sol or Ashley and its "Ooohh pleased to meet you Mr Campbell"

Another of the great things about modern football

lol that made me laugh Vis ..


Judas would've had no qualms if Notts Forest had been taken over by the oil men the following season.. In fact he probably would've had Sky Andrew his agent on to it as soon as...

Judas , Lord Haw-Haw, whatever.... All the same , the lowest of the lowest ..

Just discussing Scumball makes me

Ledders every time over scumball ....

Oh yeah you've got over it


Obviously


That why you started the thread


Um ?

A Great Defender.

But Not a Great Spurs Player.
