Signed for Killie, in late August 2006, presumably for "cover" for
Garry "Hooky" Hay.
Jim Jefferies on Signing Campbell...."We
took a wee chance on him and he hasn't cost us a lot of money, I
needed cover on the left and it's a good challenge for him to keep
others on their toes and be pressing for a regular place in the
team". |
