Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

The Sol Campbell Question

Ahead of tomorrow's almighty friendly clash against Denmark, former England international Sol Campbell has set the cat amongst the pigeons of the chattering classes in Blighty with a number of incendiary interviews ahead of the upcoming publication of his autobiog. Among other things, Sol is claiming that he was, at the height of his career in the Noughties, "the best central defender in the world" and that he would have served more matches as skipper than he did if he'd been white. Your considered thoughts on the matter, gentlemen?

Sol is stooping really low just to sell a book. Heis really arrogant to claim he was the best central defender in the world. I wouldn't even say he was the best defender in the Prem during his prime. He started at a really young age and had a great deal of potential that was never fulfilled. He was a good , solid defender, but not world class. His claims about not being skipper more often due to his race is balderdash. He is being really ridiculous and seems to love the limelight . He is an unethical crybaby . Since Sol was on both sides of the North London Derby, I would be interested to hear what our resident Gooner has to say.
