Who would have thought a player who shined in the championship would be a hit in the premiership. The English leagues are littered with players who showed promise at one point, only to falter at the moment of truth. Francis Jeffers came on the scene and departed with a snap. Remember Kevin Phillips? When he was knocking in goals for Southampton it was believed that he was going to challenge Michael Owen for a place in the England national team. Both of those players are decent in the Championship, but neither one has cracked the egg in the Premier League.
Frazier Campbell is a special type of player. He, like Villa’s Agbonlahor, is not afraid of blazing past his opponents. In a recent game against Liverpool in the Carling Cup, Tottenham’s new golden boy made the rounds past the aging Pool centre back and centered for his strike partner to score. The Tottenham fans were full of cheer and kind words for the young lad, but deep down it must be said that they know he is not theirs. Campbell belongs to Manchester United. He is one of the very few youngsters that have popped out of the United Academy with a die hard attitude. He’s got talent, pace, and above all, the work ethic that will push him pass the likes of Rooney in the next few years. Just watch that game against Liverpool again to catch a glimpse of this young boy’s ferocity.
