Campbell's Controversial Tottenham Exit: A Bitter Chapter in Football History

A Season of Success

Despite the simmering tensions, Sol Campbell enjoyed a successful season with Tottenham in 2000/01. He started in all but three Premier League matches and was deservedly named in the PFA Team of the Season.

A Shocking Transfer

However, Campbell's time at Tottenham came to an abrupt end in the summer of 2001. To the dismay of Spurs fans, he made the controversial move to their arch-rivals, Arsenal. The transfer sent shockwaves through the English football community.

A Lasting Legacy

Campbell's move to Arsenal cemented his status as an icon for Gunners fans but made him a despised figure among Tottenham supporters. He became a mainstay for England and went down in Premier League history as the only player to controversially represent both North London clubs.
