PROFILE
 Tall and
stocky, goalkeeper Kenneth Campbell joined Liverpool from Cambuslang in May 1911. At first
he was understudy to the great Sam Hardy but when the Englishman moved to Aston Villa,
Campbell looked set for a long career at Anfield. Indeed, he missed only one League game
in 1912-13, and a mere four games the following season. His position as first-choice
goalkeeper seemed assured, but his understudy was none other than Elisha Scott and the
Irishman's brilliance was soon to oust Campbell. Yet Campbell was international class and
fully deserved his eight Scotland caps (three while at Anfield). He played in the 1914 FA
Cup Final against Burnley and was one of the Liverpool heroes that day, certainly not to
be blamed for the only goal of the match which gave Burnley victory. He missed more than
half the 1914-15 season, but returned after the war for one more campaign before being
finally ousted by Scott. Campbell moved to Partick Thistle (where he won a Scottish Cup
winners' medal in 1921), and also played for Stoke, Leicester and New Brighton to take his
career tally to nearly 400 matches. On retirement, he settled in the Wirral and ran a
sports-goods shop. He had an engaging line in conversation for any customer who loved
soccer. He died in April 1977.
