He wanted to win the league at White Hart Lane so he joined Arsenal 🔴🏆 Great decision Sol 👍 LEGEND!!!!
👍🏻
Shut up he is a traitor
@@MIKJR-qg5nv 🤣😅🤣LOL!!!

@@KirkLee1983 arsenal is a comedy team on England 😂😂😂
I was doing chemotherapy at the time. I felt f*cking great for about two hours.
and you're still here :) AMEN! COYG!
@@Mcdowells Yyyyup 😃
You survived cancer AND these past few Arsenal seasons? You might be immortal
To this day I hope sol Campbell was there in your place with the chemotherapy.
Poor richard wright, he got violated throughout this video 😂😂
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
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.
Just like when Ashley Cole and Van Persie moved on. They both won league medals whilst Arsenal were struggling for top 4. The double standards with Arsenal fans is really hilarious.
Totally agree pal, i was just stating facts about what it was like at the time. Saying that though much hasn't changed since recarding arsenal still winning trophies n the spuds winning absolutely nothing as usual.
@@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.
@@lancedsouza1547ok but AT THE TIME who was winning league titles, doubles and going invincible during the move??
@@anandpatel726 No we do hold grudges against Cole especially. Van Persie and Nasri i'm still not really over, not sure about others. Fabregas, i've made my peace with him
we haven't really had many transfers like this again😏COYG
Since then the media has followed every Arsenal Rumor, even the senseless ones
@@mugishabobjacob9800 exactly
Respect Mat Ryan 😁 😂
Nobody has
Van Persie says Hello.
Tears. In. My. Eyes. 😭
What a historical moment!
The pull of Arsenal / Arsene back then was massive! ❤️
Let’s be honest though if Fergie wanted him he would’ve gone to United over Arsenal
@@Kingofthekop1 he should have wanted him. He was top class.
They had us in the first half not gonna lie🤣!
We should do something like this again
Kane 👀
Harry Kane or Son would be kl to see
I would like that to happen but no choice.
This transfer
Declan Rice is the closest to this
Won more league titles than they have in the last 60 years so fully justified. 🤷
Won more league titles in white hart lane than they have in the last 60 years lol
we won more European trophies than arsenal in 2 million years...
how many league titles is that?
@@leithbouacida2483 cool in like the 1960s you weren't even born to see that😂😂
maybe this is the hint of Harry Kane sign for Arsenal
daniel levy will shoot him self if that happens 😂😂😂
Arsenal will be signing Kane but before that we'll have to sell the Emirates stadium.
@@aryakarkera9377 Move back to Highbury? Don't mind that
@@thewarlock539 yeah & play in the lawns 😂
@@AdnanSayyed21 Better than the Emorates that's for sure.
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.
Arsenal literally teasing us at this point with these posts and videos knowing we're waiting for an announcement 😂
I actually think they are
We're obviously getting the free agent Messi
Harry kane to Arsenal?
@@9709Nick no
Messi inbound
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.
A really brilliant player, what a signing this was
Why don't we have transfers like this anymore.... Shrouded in such mystery... Love it
fabrizio is too good man
During that time there is no socmed and top journalist like today, gone are days that shock transfer like this... Arsene and david dein is Mad... Hahaha
I was still in High School and I couldn't believe it!! I'm still trying to think of a bigger transfer...I do understand Luis Figo move to Real was big...But I still feel this was bigger on so many levels.
Bigger because it's London and not 2 separate cities?
People talking about Kane...but i would like SON to join instead...
He is an Arsenal legend we have not replaced till today, he is still amazing in my team playing PES 2021
I’m actly happy we had him.. he seems like he was an really important player in 04 season
I miss Arsenal so much ❤️ 😭😭
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
Absolute legend! Let’s put in a 150m bid for Kane! 🔴⚪️😂👊🏻
😆😅
He'll come for 20 mil
(+ £1)
Either him or Son.. We can give them Pepe and Willian for free
@@edwin8585 imagine that! 😅😅
When Arsenal were actually competing at the top level
They still good now they got a top manager
@@zombie_boi_9960 no we don't were literally finished getting mugged of by villa and Everton
@@maxameddiinle8084 he's waffling m8😂
@@maxameddiinle8084 yea but still good you watch Arsenal will win the premier league
@@JLB00333 so what's you're point
This video means Kane is coming 😂
Imagine the scenes
150M?
Shut up Kane won't go down there
i like this :)
that would be biblical scene😂😂😂
When Arsenal was "THE ARSENAL", now kids are running it
True
Fax
What do u mean kids are running it?
@@eshxn7844incompetence
Sol Campbell an Arsenal legend!!!!
What a story..i just love it...BEST TRANSFER BUSINESS EVER DONE
Can hear expressions crying already
Arsenal need statement signings 🗣
What a legend!
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.
Least he captained Spurs to a League Cup final victory. Did his part and left for greener pastures.
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.
Beautiful epistle.....u jst sit bck nd smile
2021: " Harry, I thought you were going to be Andre Onana!?"
I nearly shat my pants when I heard this news! What a day that was.
He just wanted to play at TOP level 😁
Yep 😊😊 Tottenham unfortunately doesn’t provide that top level 😢
My Arsenal ❤️❤️💯💯🇯🇲🇯🇲🏴🏴
But nothing can top the signing of Arsene Wenger ...charming,Charismatic and oozing class in every frame.
On this day 22 years ago😍🔥
I was buzzing when we signed Campbell... We need a signing like that again.
Rice rice baby
Beat me to the future arsenal comment lmfao
That was even bigger than bringing Kane over for free would be now! Arsene Wenger's pull, even on no money, is unmatched!
A super legend!
Great player
One of the best decisions for both the player and the team
Imagine being Richard Wright 😭😭
Thought u were welcoming a new player for a second lmao.
What a player he was
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.
Yes true but edu and arteta right now, we have clear plan going forward...kai, rice and timber are coming for combine 209m, more to come...
Sol Campbell legend always legend💯💯💯👍👍👍🤘🤘💯🔥🔥⚽️⚽️🦙🦙🦙
why was I smiling throughout the entire video?
Miss you 🥺🥺
BRILLIANT
Those were the days!
King
Legend
For me.. This is the BEST SHOCKING SIGNING EVER ! Really f Hard to beat this 1. Hillarious 😂😂😂
The crazy thing this superstar signing was probably "only" on about 25k a week.
My dream is to play for this team!
Welcome nune tavers from benfica🥰👈sol cample the legendary of gunner💪
Dein loves the play, Arsene writes the plot.
i Miss you weger
Someone please share this expressions ooozing 😂😂😂
all together now DOUBLE DOUBLE DOUBLE DOUBLE
We really need a David Dein, this time round.
Had us in the first half not gonna lie
Tottenham fan are going to be mad 😂
great now announce Harry Kane
Can I like this more than once?
Just imagine if any of the reporters were spud fans. What a shock they must've had. Probably pissed their pants. 😂
Imagine if this was their way of saying the were about to repeat history and announce signing Kane 😂😂
Arsenals glory days = David Dein ❤
Unfortunately he brought in Stan Kroenke and the board grew to love him over Usmanov smh.
@@123dan165 rather having kroenke than usmanov tbh...usmanov is dirty money.. and kroenke have and are doing some good stuff still...we just need to get KSI to show more of a winning mentality...thats what we are lacking
This is definitely getting my eyebrows raised 🤨the timing of this vid is very interesting. Not getting any hopes up tho coz Arsenal been killing me softly for years now
Coud be priming us to accept a mediocre signing because nothing can match the high of stealing Sol from our arch-rivals.
This feels like Arsene is the Mafia Boss, Dein is his trusted aide and Campbell the target to be acquired.
The defender in the premier league history
ARSENAL MUST GET THIS RUTHLESS AGAIN!!
Fabrizio Romano would have said "Here we go" two days before the official announcement
Wenger looking fresh tho
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.
Who thought it's transfer of this season when you saw the notification first 😁🙂
On this day, Spurs crying 😭😭😭
i see clearly.. everything has come to life..
@@Robin_Dragunov i love you ❤
Back in the day FC
I know I'm not Arteta but Gianni Bruno reminds me of Hernan Crespo, Arteta should sign him quickly this year.⚽
DOuble double doubleeeee
Harry Kane needs to watch SOl's speech
campbell is my best XD
Come back sir arsene wenger to Arsenal
such a shocking signing, judas
When we had "cajones"
Imagine Harry Kane walking out today. Bloody hell.
Can't blame Sol for upgrading
if only he won the ucl in 2006. it would have shut the spurs fans up
Just can't forget his goal in the UEFA champions league against Barca 🤦🤦🤦..sadly we lost it due to referees incompetence 😢😢😢
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!
Trust the process! Arteta is a fine manager
@@KushiteNomad At the time things were pathetic and all I said was justified. He's managed to turn things around!
@@alaooooy7to be fair everyone could see Saliba was amazing. He wasn’t an Arteta signing, he hardly played him at the start and even sent him out on loan to try and get rid. Just too many arsenal fans saw it and called for his name. Even with Pepe he’s got his favourites, won’t even give him a chance.
You want to eat your words about Saliba? He's exactly the sort of defender Wenger would've had in his early years at Arsenal.
@@hakc97again Can't you read? I said he was wasting Saliba at the time. So I was calling for Saliba to play.
david dein got banter 🤣🤣
If you want this kind of things to happen,you know what to do
Wenger the best
🇸🇩❤️
