Mate I can't tell you how much that means to me, thank you man. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. I'm already hard at work on the next one. Thanks for yoru support mate, all the best
Absolutely brilliant, loved every minute. Especially as an Arsenal supporter! 😊 You narrated perfectly, complimented nicely with your choice of sound track! Keep up the great work!
Sol and Luis relate to a feeling almost no other footballer has ever felt, being forever loved and then forever hated by the exact same people. Getting recommended from you is superb
The thing with Luis is. By the time he left Madrid in summer 06 he won 2 la ligas and a ucl with them. The same exact trophies that Barça won from 2000 till 2006. If he had stayed he would’ve won the same trophies with Barça and maybe more with his help without the hatred from Barça fans
The calibre of these documentaries rivals (if not better than) "professional" documentaries. I've listened to each one and can't wait for the next one. Magnificent job!

What is interesting about Sol Campbell, is that he's considered a worse betrayal than Luis Figo. While, yes, both Tottenham and Barcelona failed to win many trophies during the aftermath of those transfers, Barcelona's problems were because president Gaspard became paranoic and began to put huge clauses on poor transfers. They did recive a world record fee at the end of the day.With Tottenham, they simply didn't had anyone near the level of Campbell.
That’s very true Da Stoof. The parallels between the two transfers are very interesting. I personally feel that Campbell’s was the worse betrayal given his history with Tottenham and the fact he left for nothing. Hope you enjoy the video mate
@@DanRenoyasFootballStories but Sol Campbell had no choice but to go out due to betrayal by board staff of team and lack of enthusiasm within the team. Its cut throat business and there is no passion for the game. EXCEPT FOR STEVEN GERRARD & Jamie Gallagher 2 true legends at Liverpool...
Yeah that’s fair enough mate and history proved that from a professional point of view it was the right thing to do. But I suppose it depends how deep football runs for you, some people can detach their emotions from it but I personally can’t
Yeah and a lot of my Spurs friends make that point mate. He could have signed for anyone, clubs who were arguably bigger than Arsenal. I personally couldn’t forgive him if I was a Spurs fan
@@DanRenoyasFootballStories Great work as always Dan, I find the combination of Dean and Wenger somehow reflected in our current pairing of Edu and Arteta, same vibes and I think that's why Arsenal slowly crawled back to the top. On a pure banter side - let's face it, Sol actually made Spurs a favor leaving for free, considering how Levy mismanaged funds earned for Modric and Bale years later.
That’s a great point Artur. Wenger and Dein were a brilliant duo and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that when Dein left things started to decline. His departure wasn’t the only reason but it was definitely one of them
Thanks mate I still can't believe it. I thought these videos would get lost in the depths of RUclips and wouldn't be seen by anyone. Thanks for your support man it really means a lot
I don't think it's a case that Spurs fans can't let it go. It was 20 years ago and I think many have moved on but still resent him which is fair in my opinion
Ha, Arsenal can have him, sols problem now is that he is not revered as a legend at Arsenal, they don't invite him back for anything, at Spurs, he would have still been around the club now. Ledly King had a troublesome career and barely played for Spurs due to injuries but is seen as a legend and is an ambassador still still now.

Given Campbell's success at Arsenal, it has largely been forgotten that he struggled at Arsenal initially. He had been used to hoofing the ball out of danger at Spurs. At Arsenal he was expected to win tackles and then keep possession. For the first three months, he often seemed to be caught between two minds. The turning point was his first visit back to Spurs in an Arsenal shirt. Despite the hostility, Campbell probably found an away derby at Spurs easier to handle from a technical point of view. Even Wenger would accept that at times the ball just needed clearing out of the penalty area. Campbell was outstanding and went on from strength to strength.
You're absolutely right mate and it just goes to show the difference in the level of coaching and expectation between Arsenal and Spurs at that time. Imagine if he'd left for a club with higher standards earlier in his career. But Sol was a monster for us and I will always love him

Finally got to watch the last of your 4 excellent videos. Like most now i guess we await your next videos. Sooner than later hopefully. As regards sol, he knew what he was doing. Going nowhere at spurs winning nothing. To winning 5 trophies at arsenal, who could blame him for leaving.
Thanks a lot for another great doc! I followed a big part of Campbell's career at Arsenal (mainly the 2005-06 season, culminating with his goal at the Champions League final) but for some reason had absolutely no idea about this drama surrounding his transference to Arsenal. Can't wait to see what you come up next!
Alongside Balon - Media and Godzuki, your channel is one of the best i ever saw in Football RUclips, this content is an amazing mastercraft and storytelling of events, is an incredible thing. Thank you and waiting for the next one.
Mate that honestly means the world to me, thank you so much. I honestly never thought these videos would get noticed so I'm still in shock that they have. Thank you so much for your support my friend, all the best
Thank you Graham that really means a lot. Honestly, the channel's already got more views than I ever thought it would so I'm still trying to get my head around it. Thanks you for your support mate, all the best
Thank you Just an Irish fella that really means a lot mate. I'm really pleased you enjoyed the video and thank you for your support. I lived in Ireland for 4 years mate - Limerick, Cork, Ballinasloe, Clonmel and Portlaoise. Where are you from mate?
Excellent doc, you’ve outdone yourself. The tone and narrative arcs you build bolster one other making this feel like a seedy story of backroom machinations. The Game of Thrones of football. The way you framed it all, I almost think Sol went to Arsenal out of spite for how he felt Spurs had let him down, but who knows. As an Arsenal supporter I’m glad we got him tho 😅🤷🏾♂️
Thank you Josh I appreciate that mate. I'm new to this storytelling business so I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. I loved Campbell as well and he was great for us. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, all the best
My Tottenham friends do not like to talk about this. It hurts! If the subject arises, they get very emotional and try and shut the subject down. Top quality production as always, Sir, loved it. Oh, and yes, i have shared this with the very friends outlined above 😉.
Thank you mate I can't tell you how much I appreciate your support. My Spurs friends are the same, they can't bring themselves to say his name never mind discuss the nuances of the story. But that's what I love about this game, the love, passion and loyalty people have to their clubs. Thanks for commenting mate, all the best
That's a really interesting point mate. I've heard a few people say this - in the modern age there is kudos associated with being an ITK but I agree it's taken the element of surprise away. Thanks for leaving a comment mate
this documentaries are so good. im not even very interested in the subject, but time flew by. great job , man! the one with calciopoli is impeccable! best docu on the subject there is.
Wow, what a great football documentary channel! A very well made documentary. I have no doubts Spurs fans will never forget and forgive Campbell. However, as a Gooner supporter, I actually forgave Ashley Cole left us after what David Dein had said about his departure and admitted that it was David's fault, and not Cole's fault. Cole was more ambitious and cared about his own future. His moves to The Bridge was eventually paid off. It's always difficult to judge until the truth comes out.
Hey, Just wanted to videos are perfect for football lovers! I really appreciated your use of vocabularies in these videos Your insights were spot on, and I loved how you tied everything together with that reflection on life. Looking forward to more awesome content from you! Keep it up!
Thank you so much mate I'm really pleased you enjoyed it and got some value out of it. Your support really means a lot, it truly does. There's plenty more to come mate. All the best
I enjoyed this one. Interesting and informative. Nice viewing before bed with a cup of Horlicks. Good example of how RUclips can be used. Nice narration and music makes this atmospheric. Takes me back to the turn of the century and Sol's transfer. Well done Dan, keep it up. You've gained a sub.
Thank you mate I really appreciate that and I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for subscribing, it really means a lot. All the best mate
Masterpiece Documentary,Suprising transfer of betrayal and shocking moment for spurs fans that time...arsenal and spurs relationship never be same again after that, even today..
You have an instinctive way with words, and it's very fun and itches a superbly particular niche of my brain, at the intersection between my love for well-narrated documentaries, history, and football. That said, I would recommend pacing the videos slightly tighter. Not too much since it'll lose the specific flair of sounding like a fireside story on Christmas eve, but just enough that the flow isn't lost because of the time taken to move from topic to topic (this is more of something I observed on the Calciopoli video than here, but pointing it out regardless). Great video, as always, and thoroughly looking forward to more! :]
Thank you Ayon I’m really glad you enjoyed it. And I really am grateful for the feedback, I’m new to this whole video editing/storytelling thing so I really do need feedback from people to keep improving. Thanks again mate, all the best
Haven’t watched the whole video yet, but according to your last few I’m fairly confident it’s gonna be an interesting watch, keep up the great work. I have a suggestion for a future video, being saudi and after the takeover, I’d say a video on the highs and lows of Mike Ashleys era of Newcastle would be pretty interesting.
I rarely subscribe and comment, but I decided to do so after watching all your videos which have an unrivaled professional quality to them. I only started watching football in the mid 2000s, so I always considered Sol Campbell an Arsenal legend and had no idea about the extent of his betrayal. In my opinion, it feels more personal than Figo's move just because he was a local boy. Moreover, his move was integral in helping Tottenham's arch rivals get back to winning ways while condemning them to continue writing "the history of the Tottenham" as Chiellini put it and without any compensation to boot. Being a sportsman is not like any other profession merely because thousands or even millions of fans are invested in your choices. Instead of being praised for getting a bump in salary at a better corporation, you are labelled a mercenary or worse. Ultimately, one could argue that moves which completely burn bridges are ill-advised in any profession, especially in one as emotionally charged as football and when equivalent and less divisive decisions could be made. Given your interest in covering contentious incidents, I was wondering if you ever considered Roberto Baggio as the subject of one of your videos? I am sure you can find many different talking points over his illustrious career (injury prior to signing, being nursed back then forcefully sold to a rival, being underutilised by managers at top clubs and the national team while finding success at smaller teams, etc.). Keep up the good work, and I will be looking forward to your next upload.
Thank you Adrian I really appreciate that mate. Thank you so much. I agree with everything you've said. Initially I thought that Figo's was the worse given the non-football context that surrounds Barca and Madrid. That's a great point about how Campbell joining Arsenal took them to the next level. You're right, football is a world unlike any other in terms of the adulation given to players. Loyalty is important for me, I really don't like when players tarnish their legacies by joining bitter rivals. I felt the same when fernando Torres left Liverpool for Chelsea. But on the other hand, a footballer's career is short and the game is full of players who stayed loyal but had precious little to show for it at the end of their careers. I love Roberto Baggio - I'll happily do a video on him. Thanks again for commenting and subscribing mate, all the best
There is a tendency for fans to almost dehumanise football players. Top players are expected to stay at struggling clubs and forego the chance of winning titles while also taking a financial hit that only benefits the extremely wealthy owners. At the same time, struggling players are quickly labelled as flops with fans calling for them to be shipped off at the nearest opportunity. We tend to forget that these athletes are just young men who usually come from underprivileged backgrounds. They have to adapt to new countries and cultures at times all while having their actions and performances scrutinised in the public eye. Sure they are well compensated when compared to the average Joe, but Joe's mistakes at work are not immortalised and dissected while affecting the mood of fans across the world. In the case of Sol Campbell, it is easy for the fans to ask him to uproot his life and move to Spain or Italy, but perhaps he simply preferred the comfort of being in North London where a sportingly and financially competitive team was present. However, Tottenham fans have every right to be upset. I am not too familiar with the non-footballing aspect of the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid, but I previously watched a video briefly mentioning politics coming into play in the contentious transfer of Di Stefano which completely changed the fortunes of Madrid and was perhaps the most impactful in its history. I have no idea how long putting these videos together takes and I would imagine it becomes even more time consuming when covering topics from the 50s, but the whole Colombian money league and the debacle surrounding Di Stefano's transfer could be interesting to look into. I am rooting for your channel to become one of the biggest in the football RUclips space.
Sold gave Spurs 10 years. He was grossly underpaid, thus it was a one way loyalty. Sol saw the light and decided he had to put himself first for a change and did so. Good for him. Great player.
I always thought Luis Figo leaving Barcelona for Real Madrid was the biggest betrayal, now after watching this video I'm convinced otherwise, Sol Campbell's departure to Arsenal was the greatest betrayal in the history of football. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work 👏👏
Thanks mate I really appreciate that. I can’t make up my mind who’s worse. The political history between Barcelona and Real is really deep and Barca fans felt Figo betrayed a culture, which I think is fair. On the other hand he’s not Catalan so it’s a question of whether the history was his burden to carry. The history between Spurs and Arsenal is mainly football with culture and social issues a smaller part of it. But Campbell was a Spurs fan and was developed by the club. There are so many ways of looking at both situations it’s hard to come to a definitive conclusion. But that’s what we love about the game! Thanks for watching mate, all the best
Ashley Cole's seedy meetings with Kenyon at Chelsea, we're a bit naughty, when he was still at Arsenal. Opposing fans were already chanting 'Chelsea rentboy' at him, months before he left Arsenal for the Bridge... 😂
Why’s everyone blaming Campbell and not the Spurs Hierarchy?? Based on this story they undervalued him behind closed doors and He wanted to hurt them for that out of spite and he did😂
I feel like Figo might have signed something that at the time might have felt like free money, since Florentino Perez was the underdog in that presidential race. On one hand, Sol Campbell's story felt like all his actions were more deliberate, on the other hand he had every right and reason to feel betrayed by the club. I can empathize if from there on, it was all business for him. One could argue that he could've easily justify going to Juventus. However, Arsenal offered more money and convenience. He was able to stay in London and not have to deal with a different language. I really enjoy how your videos add context a nuance to these remarkable stories.
Thank you Paulo I really appreciate that. I'm a big football geek and love the nuances and different perspectives on stories like this so I'm really glad you appreciated it. I think you're absolutely right, neither situation is black and white. I was saying to another viewer that ultimately, with the Campbell situation, both sides are right. He was doing what was in his best personal and professional interests but in doing so, he had to betray the Spurs fans. Thanks for your comment my friend, I really do appreciate it. All the best mate
@@DanRenoyasFootballStories That's a very eloquent and astute way of putting it. You bring up a very good point, the fans, which is what differentiates footballers from other non-team sports related professions. Bosses and higher ups often ask for commitment and ownership. However, when they don't reciprocate in the respect and commitment to the worker, they just tend to leave because the inspiration for that ownership is gone. Asking without inspiring is a sure way for companies to see their top talents leave them. However, fans add another layer of complexity that other professions don't have. The club asked him for commitment and ownership, but unfortunately did not manage to inspire any hope of winning titles. When he needed the club, they left him out to dry. The betrayal was exclusively to the fans, but I wonder if there was anything he could've done differently. Had he been more transparent, would that potentially hurt the possibility of making his ambitions become reality? Even it it didn't, was that his genuine concern?
Great top notch documentery mate , very fine job , keep up the good work , this is my first time watching ur channel and i'm liking what i see very much , best wishes and subscribed
This is an object lesson in 'keeping ones own counsel' and NEVER making promises except to oneself. Had Sol joined Juventus; a club he'd a suited down to the ground all would have been well.
Growing up Arsenal, I never paid close attention to the inner turmoil over at Spurs, so the backstory to Sol's decision is mostly new to me. I can only imagine how reporting to/negotiating with an arrogant and entitled buffoon like Alan Sugar would have grated on a sensitive young black superstar. Sugar's rants against "player power" hint at what an old-fashioned, hierarchical person he is: he saw himself as the boss and expected his employee Sol to come to heel and carry the water for Spurs when ordered. Years later he also put out horrible racist tweets that make you wonder what kind of attitudes he was privately showing young black millionaires in the 1990s. You can imagine how alluring it must've been to go and work for a progressive, patient, compassionate and fiercely loyal person like Arsene Wenger.
hey bro i love this video cos it explains more ab the transfer and bts and i was wondering could you do a documentary ab either a rise of a football club or a fall
Excellent video. I had not realised how significant were the legal cases involving Campbell and Sugar. Sugar's motivation in buying Tottenham however was not that mentioned. Sugar may have loosely supported Tottenham all his life. However, he was not a fanatical fan. When he bought Spurs, someone at the club mentioned 'The Double' (that Spurs had won in 1961) and Sugar asked 'What Double?' Sugar's real motivation was that his key business at the time was satellite dishes and the sale of these were linked to Sky buying the rights to televise the Premier League. Buying Spurs gave Sugar a seat at the table where these negotiations were being made. David Dein suggested that Sugar should recuse himself on the ground that he had a vested interest.
Thanks mate. I didn't realise that about Sugar. I found a documentary where he was asked what his reasons were for buying the club and he said it was sense of community and a lifelong ambition. Just goes to show you shouldn't take people's words at face value. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, all the best

I really enjoy your content. I make content about football too, although in my case it's mostly focused on Independiente Santa Fe, a football team of Bogota, Colombia. Even so, my style is quite similar to yours and seeing your content fills me with joy. Talking about football of the past is harder each day due to the sheer amount of different stories and the organizations making them, the introduction of Cristiano and Messi into football makes talking about anyone other than them something very difficult. I have only seen two of your videos, but I'm already convinced that you're one of the biggest prospects in this whole "RUclips Football" community. I look forward to seeing more of your content, and, perhaps one day be able to collaborate with you, even if our niches are different. Good night from Bogota, Colombia.
Thank you so much mate. I'm really pleased you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for your kind words. Funnily enough, I am actually planning to emigrate to Colombia! I used to live in Venezuela and visited Santa Marta when I was there. I'm hoping to move there by the middle of next year. I've just subscribed to your channel mate.

The channel has seen unprecedented growth during this past week and i'm quite hopeful for the future. Have a great week, once again I hope we can one of these days collaborate on a joint video, even if our "field of expertise" is quite different, the topic is the same and it's an oh-so-interesting opportunity to make an entertaining video.
Thanks mate. I was wondering if I could maybe have a discussion with you about my next video as it's about Colombian football in the 1980s. I'll have a look on your channel for your email address, would you mind me contacting you? I want to make sure that I get my facts correct. Many thanks
Sol Campbell left Tottingham for the same reason Kane recently left, when a player retires he wants to see some silverware on his mantlepiece. Yes, it was a bitter pill for the spurs fans that he chose Arsenal but he's a professional player, not a football fan.
Excellent video! Sol's betrayal was far more personal because it was HIS decision ultimately. Figo was bound by them hitting the release clause, so he could only go there. He planned to go and hopefully come back. It was a snap decision out of the blue made by a forced trigger of a release clause. Sol's decision was sat in a network of years of planning. Moving to Arsenal wasnt, but leaving the club was. Even after running down his contract, which personally is the much bigger betrayal if you care about a club - not saying he should care about them but if you dont, dont say it on TV - Arsenal were one of many great suitors he could have joined. Manchester United was another. All the other people you talked about. Campbells betrayal was planned to some extent. Figo's was not. That's my difference. Neither made the "wrong" move, but both are a reason that players speak through PR reps now.
Never stop making football documentaries these are amazing. The way you speak about the beautiful game is so poetic. A channel for true fans

I followed a big part of Campbell's career at Arsenal (mainly the 2005-06 season, culminating with his goal at the Champions League final) but for some reason had absolutely no idea about this drama surrounding his transference to Arsenal. Can't wait to see what you come up next!
Thank you for your support Rodrigo it really is appreciated mate.
Such a great level of production for such a small channel (no offense)!
Keep up the good job, respect from Ukraine 🤝
Hands down the best and most informative footy channel on this platform. Keep giving us more Sir.. your on the way to the top
Thank you Nino I really appreciate that mate. I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and thanks for your support, it really means a lot. All the best man
The quality is INSANE
One of the invincible Gunners. Top lad. Sucks for the Spurs who couldn’t get the best out of him. 😂
Absolutely mate I loved him as a player as well. Thanks for watching man, all the best
Alongside Balon - Media and Godzuki, your channel is one of the best i ever saw in Football RUclips, this content is an amazing mastercraft and storytelling of events, is an incredible thing.
Thank you and waiting for the next one.
Mate that honestly means the world to me, thank you so much. I honestly never thought these videos would get noticed so I'm still in shock that they have. Thank you so much for your support my friend, all the best
I'd highly recommend flashback football also.
Yeah that’s a great channel
Dude your videos are amazing. You deserve more subs and i think your channel will blow up soon
Thank you Graham that really means a lot. Honestly, the channel's already got more views than I ever thought it would so I'm still trying to get my head around it. Thanks you for your support mate, all the best
Ι'm so glad i found this channel
Your content is amazing, how you delve into the nuances of topics and give extreme detail is unmatched, already looking forward to the next vid
Thank you Just an Irish fella that really means a lot mate. I'm really pleased you enjoyed the video and thank you for your support. I lived in Ireland for 4 years mate - Limerick, Cork, Ballinasloe, Clonmel and Portlaoise. Where are you from mate?
i'm grateful towards the youtube algorithm that introduced me to this channel, just wow, keep going mate.
Thank you Fahad I'm really pleased you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your support mate, it really means a lot. All the best mate
Excellent doc, you’ve outdone yourself. The tone and narrative arcs you build bolster one other making this feel like a seedy story of backroom machinations. The Game of Thrones of football.
The way you framed it all, I almost think Sol went to Arsenal out of spite for how he felt Spurs had let him down, but who knows. As an Arsenal supporter I’m glad we got him tho 😅🤷🏾♂️
Thank you Josh I appreciate that mate. I'm new to this storytelling business so I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. I loved Campbell as well and he was great for us. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, all the best
The conclusion to this piece is immense...@DanRenoyasFootballStories
My Tottenham friends do not like to talk about this. It hurts! If the subject arises, they get very emotional and try and shut the subject down.
Top quality production as always, Sir, loved it. Oh, and yes, i have shared this with the very friends outlined above 😉.
Thank you mate I can't tell you how much I appreciate your support.
My Spurs friends are the same, they can't bring themselves to say his name never mind discuss the nuances of the story. But that's what I love about this game, the love, passion and loyalty people have to their clubs. Thanks for commenting mate, all the best

fabrizio ruined the element of surprise and excitement from club transfers
That's a really interesting point mate. I've heard a few people say this - in the modern age there is kudos associated with being an ITK but I agree it's taken the element of surprise away. Thanks for leaving a comment mate
Still get some players slipping through Fabio Vieira and kiwior come to mind
@@reeseprince8 Yeah, but the big ones will (almost) never be surprises again, as clubs allowed him to gain certain details.

this documentaries are so good. im not even very interested in the subject, but time flew by. great job , man! the one with calciopoli is impeccable! best docu on the subject there is.
Mate that means so much to me, thank you. I'm truly delighted you enjoyed the videos. Thank you for your support, all the best mate
Wow, what a great football documentary channel! A very well made documentary. I have no doubts Spurs fans will never forget and forgive Campbell. However, as a Gooner supporter, I actually forgave Ashley Cole left us after what David Dein had said about his departure and admitted that it was David's fault, and not Cole's fault. Cole was more ambitious and cared about his own future. His moves to The Bridge was eventually paid off. It's always difficult to judge until the truth comes out.
Another much watch. You're helping grow my love for the great game. Ironically, I have a Spurs kit on.
Thank you mate I'm so happy you enjoyed it and thanks for supporting me. All the best man
Hey, Just wanted to videos are perfect for football lovers! I really appreciated your use of vocabularies in these videos

I enjoyed this one. Interesting and informative. Nice viewing before bed with a cup of Horlicks. Good example of how RUclips can be used. Nice narration and music makes this atmospheric. Takes me back to the turn of the century and Sol's transfer. Well done Dan, keep it up. You've gained a sub.

Thanks for bringing up David Dien. He was as crucial for Arsenal’s success as Wenger. The club hasn’t been the same since he left.
Masterpiece Documentary,Suprising transfer of betrayal and shocking moment for spurs fans that time...arsenal and spurs relationship never be same again after that, even today..
Thank you so much Dh4n, I really appreciate that mate and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and commenting mate, all the best
You have an instinctive way with words, and it's very fun and itches a superbly particular niche of my brain, at the intersection between my love for well-narrated documentaries, history, and football. That said, I would recommend pacing the videos slightly tighter. Not too much since it'll lose the specific flair of sounding like a fireside story on Christmas eve, but just enough that the flow isn't lost because of the time taken to move from topic to topic (this is more of something I observed on the Calciopoli video than here, but pointing it out regardless). Great video, as always, and thoroughly looking forward to more! :]
Thank you Ayon I’m really glad you enjoyed it. And I really am grateful for the feedback, I’m new to this whole video editing/storytelling thing so I really do need feedback from people to keep improving. Thanks again mate, all the best

Haven’t watched the whole video yet, but according to your last few I’m fairly confident it’s gonna be an interesting watch, keep up the great work.
I have a suggestion for a future video, being saudi and after the takeover, I’d say a video on the highs and lows of Mike Ashleys era of Newcastle would be pretty interesting.
Thank you mate I appreciate that and thank you for the suggestion. I'll dfefinitely add it to the list buddy. All the best
Nice job. I just subscribed.
Expressions with the cameo!
I love the guy I think he's absolutely great!
I rarely subscribe and comment, but I decided to do so after watching all your videos which have an unrivaled professional quality to them.
I only started watching football in the mid 2000s, so I always considered Sol Campbell an Arsenal legend and had no idea about the extent of his betrayal. In my opinion, it feels more personal than Figo's move just because he was a local boy. Moreover, his move was integral in helping Tottenham's arch rivals get back to winning ways while condemning them to continue writing "the history of the Tottenham" as Chiellini put it and without any compensation to boot.
Being a sportsman is not like any other profession merely because thousands or even millions of fans are invested in your choices. Instead of being praised for getting a bump in salary at a better corporation, you are labelled a mercenary or worse.
Ultimately, one could argue that moves which completely burn bridges are ill-advised in any profession, especially in one as emotionally charged as football and when equivalent and less divisive decisions could be made.
Given your interest in covering contentious incidents, I was wondering if you ever considered Roberto Baggio as the subject of one of your videos? I am sure you can find many different talking points over his illustrious career (injury prior to signing, being nursed back then forcefully sold to a rival, being underutilised by managers at top clubs and the national team while finding success at smaller teams, etc.).
Keep up the good work, and I will be looking forward to your next upload.
Thank you Adrian I really appreciate that mate. Thank you so much.
I agree with everything you've said. Initially I thought that Figo's was the worse given the non-football context that surrounds Barca and Madrid. That's a great point about how Campbell joining Arsenal took them to the next level.
You're right, football is a world unlike any other in terms of the adulation given to players. Loyalty is important for me, I really don't like when players tarnish their legacies by joining bitter rivals. I felt the same when fernando Torres left Liverpool for Chelsea. But on the other hand, a footballer's career is short and the game is full of players who stayed loyal but had precious little to show for it at the end of their careers.
I love Roberto Baggio - I'll happily do a video on him.
Thanks again for commenting and subscribing mate, all the best
There is a tendency for fans to almost dehumanise football players. Top players are expected to stay at struggling clubs and forego the chance of winning titles while also taking a financial hit that only benefits the extremely wealthy owners. At the same time, struggling players are quickly labelled as flops with fans calling for them to be shipped off at the nearest opportunity. We tend to forget that these athletes are just young men who usually come from underprivileged backgrounds. They have to adapt to new countries and cultures at times all while having their actions and performances scrutinised in the public eye. Sure they are well compensated when compared to the average Joe, but Joe's mistakes at work are not immortalised and dissected while affecting the mood of fans across the world.
In the case of Sol Campbell, it is easy for the fans to ask him to uproot his life and move to Spain or Italy, but perhaps he simply preferred the comfort of being in North London where a sportingly and financially competitive team was present. However, Tottenham fans have every right to be upset.
I am not too familiar with the non-footballing aspect of the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid, but I previously watched a video briefly mentioning politics coming into play in the contentious transfer of Di Stefano which completely changed the fortunes of Madrid and was perhaps the most impactful in its history. I have no idea how long putting these videos together takes and I would imagine it becomes even more time consuming when covering topics from the 50s, but the whole Colombian money league and the debacle surrounding Di Stefano's transfer could be interesting to look into.
I am rooting for your channel to become one of the biggest in the football RUclips space.
Excellent piece
Sold gave Spurs 10 years. He was grossly underpaid, thus it was a one way loyalty.
Sol saw the light and decided he had to put himself first for a change and did so. Good for him. Great player.
I always thought Luis Figo leaving Barcelona for Real Madrid was the biggest betrayal, now after watching this video I'm convinced otherwise, Sol Campbell's departure to Arsenal was the greatest betrayal in the history of football.
Thanks for the video and keep up the good work 👏👏
Thanks mate I really appreciate that. I can’t make up my mind who’s worse. The political history between Barcelona and Real is really deep and Barca fans felt Figo betrayed a culture, which I think is fair. On the other hand he’s not Catalan so it’s a question of whether the history was his burden to carry. The history between Spurs and Arsenal is mainly football with culture and social issues a smaller part of it. But Campbell was a Spurs fan and was developed by the club. There are so many ways of looking at both situations it’s hard to come to a definitive conclusion. But that’s what we love about the game! Thanks for watching mate, all the best
Ashley Cole's seedy meetings with Kenyon at Chelsea, we're a bit naughty, when he was still at Arsenal. Opposing fans were already chanting 'Chelsea rentboy' at him, months before he left Arsenal for the Bridge... 😂
Why’s everyone blaming Campbell and not the Spurs Hierarchy?? Based on this story they undervalued him behind closed doors and He wanted to hurt them for that out of spite and he did😂
I feel like Figo might have signed something that at the time might have felt like free money, since Florentino Perez was the underdog in that presidential race. On one hand, Sol Campbell's story felt like all his actions were more deliberate, on the other hand he had every right and reason to feel betrayed by the club. I can empathize if from there on, it was all business for him. One could argue that he could've easily justify going to Juventus. However, Arsenal offered more money and convenience. He was able to stay in London and not have to deal with a different language.
I really enjoy how your videos add context a nuance to these remarkable stories.
Thank you Paulo I really appreciate that. I'm a big football geek and love the nuances and different perspectives on stories like this so I'm really glad you appreciated it.
I think you're absolutely right, neither situation is black and white. I was saying to another viewer that ultimately, with the Campbell situation, both sides are right. He was doing what was in his best personal and professional interests but in doing so, he had to betray the Spurs fans.
Thanks for your comment my friend, I really do appreciate it. All the best mate
@@DanRenoyasFootballStories That's a very eloquent and astute way of putting it.
You bring up a very good point, the fans, which is what differentiates footballers from other non-team sports related professions. Bosses and higher ups often ask for commitment and ownership. However, when they don't reciprocate in the respect and commitment to the worker, they just tend to leave because the inspiration for that ownership is gone. Asking without inspiring is a sure way for companies to see their top talents leave them. However, fans add another layer of complexity that other professions don't have.
The club asked him for commitment and ownership, but unfortunately did not manage to inspire any hope of winning titles. When he needed the club, they left him out to dry. The betrayal was exclusively to the fans, but I wonder if there was anything he could've done differently. Had he been more transparent, would that potentially hurt the possibility of making his ambitions become reality? Even it it didn't, was that his genuine concern?
Great top notch documentery mate , very fine job , keep up the good work , this is my first time watching ur channel and i'm liking what i see very much , best wishes and subscribed

This is an object lesson in 'keeping ones own counsel' and NEVER making promises except to oneself. Had Sol joined Juventus; a club he'd a suited down to the ground all would have been well.
That's a good point mate they will usually come back and bite you at some point. Thanks for commenting mate, all the best
Excellent. Captivating
Thanks Ahmoo. Really glad you enjoyed it mate. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best
Growing up Arsenal, I never paid close attention to the inner turmoil over at Spurs, so the backstory to Sol's decision is mostly new to me.
I can only imagine how reporting to/negotiating with an arrogant and entitled buffoon like Alan Sugar would have grated on a sensitive young black superstar. Sugar's rants against "player power" hint at what an old-fashioned, hierarchical person he is: he saw himself as the boss and expected his employee Sol to come to heel and carry the water for Spurs when ordered. Years later he also put out horrible racist tweets that make you wonder what kind of attitudes he was privately showing young black millionaires in the 1990s.
You can imagine how alluring it must've been to go and work for a progressive, patient, compassionate and fiercely loyal person like Arsene Wenger.
A very well crafted documentary.
Thank you man
hey bro i love this video cos it explains more ab the transfer and bts and i was wondering could you do a documentary ab either a rise of a football club or a fall
Fantastic video
Thank you mate, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. There's more to come as well mate. All the best man
Excellent video. I had not realised how significant were the legal cases involving Campbell and Sugar. Sugar's motivation in buying Tottenham however was not that mentioned. Sugar may have loosely supported Tottenham all his life. However, he was not a fanatical fan. When he bought Spurs, someone at the club mentioned 'The Double' (that Spurs had won in 1961) and Sugar asked 'What Double?' Sugar's real motivation was that his key business at the time was satellite dishes and the sale of these were linked to Sky buying the rights to televise the Premier League. Buying Spurs gave Sugar a seat at the table where these negotiations were being made. David Dein suggested that Sugar should recuse himself on the ground that he had a vested interest.
Thanks mate. I didn't realise that about Sugar. I found a documentary where he was asked what his reasons were for buying the club and he said it was sense of community and a lifelong ambition. Just goes to show you shouldn't take people's words at face value. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, all the best

I really enjoy your content. I make content about football too, although in my case it's mostly focused on Independiente Santa Fe, a football team of Bogota, Colombia. Even so, my style is quite similar to yours and seeing your content fills me with joy. Talking about football of the past is harder each day due to the sheer amount of different stories and the organizations making them, the introduction of Cristiano and Messi into football makes talking about anyone other than them something very difficult.
I have only seen two of your videos, but I'm already convinced that you're one of the biggest prospects in this whole "RUclips Football" community. I look forward to seeing more of your content, and, perhaps one day be able to collaborate with you, even if our niches are different.
Good night from Bogota, Colombia.
Thank you so much mate. I'm really pleased you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for your kind words. Funnily enough, I am actually planning to emigrate to Colombia! I used to live in Venezuela and visited Santa Marta when I was there. I'm hoping to move there by the middle of next year.
I've just subscribed to your channel mate. I'm heading out now but I'll binge watch them later when I get home.
Many thanks for your support man and good luck with your channel as well. All the best mi pana
@@DanRenoyasFootballStories It will be our pleasure to recieve you here in Bogota, the football scenery is quite fantastic and there is room for a bohemian (no pun intended) lifestyle.
Thank you so so much for your subscription, I hope the subtitles convey the message good enough for my emotions to be understood. The channel has seen unprecedented growth during this past week and i'm quite hopeful for the future.
Have a great week, once again I hope we can one of these days collaborate on a joint video, even if our "field of expertise" is quite different, the topic is the same and it's an oh-so-interesting opportunity to make an entertaining video.
Thanks mate. I was wondering if I could maybe have a discussion with you about my next video as it's about Colombian football in the 1980s. I'll have a look on your channel for your email address, would you mind me contacting you? I want to make sure that I get my facts correct. Many thanks

Sol Campbell left Tottingham for the same reason Kane recently left, when a player retires he wants to see some silverware on his mantlepiece. Yes, it was a bitter pill for the spurs fans that he chose Arsenal but he's a professional player, not a football fan.

Please do one about Fernando Torres's move from Liverpool to Chelsea
Yep will do mate I'll add that one to the list. Thank you for the suggestion - if you think of any more please let me know. All the best mate
Excellent video!
Sol's betrayal was far more personal because it was HIS decision ultimately. Figo was bound by them hitting the release clause, so he could only go there. He planned to go and hopefully come back. It was a snap decision out of the blue made by a forced trigger of a release clause. Sol's decision was sat in a network of years of planning. Moving to Arsenal wasnt, but leaving the club was. Even after running down his contract, which personally is the much bigger betrayal if you care about a club - not saying he should care about them but if you dont, dont say it on TV - Arsenal were one of many great suitors he could have joined. Manchester United was another. All the other people you talked about.
Campbells betrayal was planned to some extent. Figo's was not. That's my difference.
Neither made the "wrong" move, but both are a reason that players speak through PR reps now.
Absolutely correct mate I couldn't have put it better myself. Thanks for leaving a comment man, all the best
