Biggest wanker in football. Some of the things he said to me were awful and I'll take them with me for life.
Guess they didn't get on then.

Probably bollocked him for scoring 5 goals in about 60 matches. Must be hard being a manager and trying to keep players happy even when you don't play them. Bothroyd and Chopra loved playing for him
Same with Malky some players loved him and players like Parkin and Gerrard hated him.
Campbell also wasn't DJ'S signing so would have had to prove himself again (again?!) and he wouldn't get as many chances as he did under Lennie.Originally Posted by Croesy Blue
Sour grapes from AC which is understandable as nobody likes to be left on the scrapheap.
There are of course 2 sides to every story but like him or not, I suspect Dave Jones has a bit more class than to call people names on twitter.
Plus if anyone was a wanker then Campbell would be high on the list.
I know he scored the goal in the play off final (still think it may have been a mis hit cross) but apart from that he had nothing about him and I remember regularly saying I cannot understand how he became a professional footballer

His goals when he was on loan got us into the play-offs.Plus if anyone was a wanker then Campbell would be high on the list.

Earnie was second choice behind him for a while, often coming on as sub.
Then Earnie became rather good at getting the odd goal or ten, and AC was forever in Earnie's shadow.
Another example of a player good on loan, then shite once he got a permanent contract?
AC never regained his scoring touch, and the missed pelanty vs Leeds was diabolical.
The worst penalty I have ever seen a City player take, sadly
This is true - he was great when he was on loan (did he score 8 goals in 9 games or something?) and then suddenly became rubbish when we signed him for nearly £1m I think which is/was a lot of money.
It is sad that he feels it necessary to publically slate Jones like that and makes me wonder what WAS said between the two?
The other thing that I noted from his Twitter account is the photo of him in the England U21 team that included:
Rio
Gerrard
Barry
Heskey
Lampard
Dyer
Carragher (I think)
I'd be bitter too......
He made his name at Middlesbro, scoring against (the then very strong) Man Utd in the cup when they knocked them out. Despite that, I remember the Boro fans being delighted that he was coming to us.Plus if anyone was a wanker then Campbell would be high on the list.

To who? It was clearly a shot, it comes right off the laces for starters.Plus if anyone was a wanker then Campbell would be high on the list.

He's a nice bloke though and says what DJ said to him went well beyond what was acceptable, which I can believe.
Doesnt detract from the fact he was a lazy good for nothing "footballer"
I remember him whining in the echo that he was being shut out. He got played and showed no interest what so ever.

A miss-hit cross? Who to? There was no one in front of him bar the goalie.Plus if anyone was a wanker then Campbell would be high on the list.

Spoke to Andy a few times, A nice bloke and just wanted to play football
If he says DJ was horrid to him, my guess is that he was, lets be honest, Jones man-management ideas where terrible
Campbell was a disgrace. Couldn't be bothered most of the time.
not disputing that fact
not sure he had found his level with us, he was not upto the job on a regular basis
It was his lack of effort that I most remember. He used to shrug rather than run for a ball that wasn't passed to his feet.
Nobody going to mention his small head?
Yup, all our players were still in our own half.
We don't know what happened at all; he could be speaking about something that could horrify us or make us shrug and not really understand why he's got so upset so many years after leaving DJ's company. That he's a bit far away from the top striker thread doesn't really matter.
dave jones is a surly ****
