Johnny Campbell
Summary
Johnny Campbell played for Tranmere Rovers, at right-back, from 1914 to 1929 but never became a professional, preferring to retain his amateur status. Despite the handicap of a bullet embedded in his skull, he lived to the grand age of eighty-seven and it was his proud boast to have never been cautioned or send off.
