This was announced by his former clubs Arsenal and Everton.
Born in London, Campbell trained at Arsenal and made his professional debut there in 1988. He wore the Gunners' shirt 210 times and scored 55 goals. He also celebrated his greatest successes with his parent club, including winning the English Cup in 1993 and the European Cup Winners' Cup a year later.
After a stint in Turkey from 1999 to 2005, Campbell also left his mark at Everton, where he was the first dark-skinned captain. He also holds the record for the most goals scored in the Premier League (83) by a player who was never called up for the national team.
After his football career, Campbell worked as a TV pundit, among other things.
