Sol Campbell trolls Tottenham followers about becoming a member of ‘significantly better’ Arsenal in new advert
Sol Campbell has drawn the fury of Tottenham Hotspur fans on the eve of the north London derby by starring in a cheeky Google Pixel poking fun at the Lilywhites
Sol Campbell has opened up old wounds while starring in a cheeky Google Pixel advert.
Campbell, 50, became public enemy No.1 when he crossed the north London divide back in 2001. Having graduated from Tottenham Hotspur’s academy, the towering centre-back traded lilywhite for red when he signed for Arsenal.
And Campbell is back to taunting Tottenham fans in the TV advert. “It’s that time of year again,” Campbell tells the camera. “The time of year when people start to wonder if the grass might be greener.
“Whether they should switch sides and change allegiances,” he says walking down a hallway of Arsenal shirts while wearing a red turtle neck as he enters his trophy room. “Take it from me. Big moves pay off.
“Sure, people will have opinions, but who cares what people think?” He continues: “Of course you can stay with them for another year, but is anything going to change? Doesn’t look like it to me…
“So if you’re thinking about a transfer this January, I say go for it! It’s not like you’re doing anything outrageous. You’re just switching to something much, much better… the Google Pixel!”
Campbell then asks his Google Pixel phone what they were just talking about, and it responds: “We were talking about separating delicate whites from strong colours like red in your wash cycle.”
“How this isn’t a Paddy Power ad is mind-blowing,” one fan joked. While a second said: “This video has genuinely cheered me up… Wow!
“I can not believe they went there. But they did. And you know what? Fair play. This is very good,” a third posted. And another added: “A certain fanbase in north London that wears white are going to be rattled…”
However, one Spurs fan wasn’t too impressed: “Sol Campbell has got to be the most unlikeable person on the planet. Just an attention leech!”
