Welcome to a special episode of The Athletic’s Arsenal podcast, Handbrake Off, in honour of a much loved Arsenal great Kevin Campbell. Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke are joined by a quartet of legends. Alan Smith twice won the golden boot as the best goalscorer in England as well as delivering Arsenal’s last European trophy. Lee Dixon played a phenomenal 619 games for the club over 15 years of service. Paul Davis holds a special place in the hearts of Black Arsenal as a trailblazer, and masterful midfielder. Andy Cole came through the club’s youth system at a similar time to Kevin, before leaving for a hugely successful career elsewhere, particularly at Newcastle and Man United. The panel reflect on Kevin's legacy, a champion of a wonderful and very important generation of young black players at Arsenal. Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri's rise to the first team, comparisons between George Graham and Mikel Arteta, and Arsenal's 31 year wait for a European trophy are also discussed. Produced by Jay Beale. With thanks to the Kevin Campbell Foundation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
