“ I became a hermit within my own house. I became insular because at home there was no space to grow or to evolve, everything was close and there was no board to breathe. People do n’t realise how that affects you as a child. I was n’t allowed to speak, so my formulation was football. ”His father paid little to attention to him other than to discipline him, and so Campbell grew up to be quiet and polite, but also isolated.[5][6]
Campbell attended the Portway Primary School in Plaistow, London and had secondary department of education at Lister Community School in Plaistow, London.

[ 9 ]
Club career [edit ]
Tottenham Hotspur [edit ]
Following his experience at West Ham United, Campbell was reluctant to join another master club ‘s youth program, but after two months of continuity from Tottenham Hotspur ‘s chief scout Len Cheesewright, he finally joined the Tottenham Youth team. [ 10 ] Youth team coach Keith Waldon by and by recalled that it was his animalism rather than his technical foul ability which made him stand out as a good expectation for the future. [ 11 ] At long time 14, he was one of only 16 young footballers accepted onto a trail plan at Lilleshall Hall. [ 12 ] Waldon offered to make him captain of the youth team, but Campbell declined the extend as he wanted to concentrate on his own game. [ 13 ] Campbell made his first team debut for Spurs on 5 December 1992 against Chelsea at White Hart Lane, scoring the finish in a 2–1 defeat after coming on as a substitute for Nick Barmby. [ 14 ] Despite this start to his career, he was not picked by director Terry Venables again throughout the remainder of the 1992–93 season. New boss Osvaldo Ardiles played him at left rear at the depart of the 1993–94 season in place of the hurt Justin Edinburgh, before he was switched to right back in place of Dean Austin. [ 15 ] At the end of the season, he signed a four-year narrow with the clubhouse. [ 16 ] New director Gerry Francis led the club to the semi-finals of the FA Cup in the 1994–95 campaign, but Campbell missed the match due to injury and Spurs were beaten by Everton. [ 17 ] Campbell continued to progress in his performances, but Spurs struggled to mid-table league finishes in the 1995–96 and 1996–97 seasons.
