Noel Campbell

Noel Campbell

Noel Campbell (born 11 December 1949 in Dublin) is a retired Irish footballer.

He began his career in 1966 with St. Patrick's Athletic F.C. in the League of Ireland where alongside his brother Johnny played in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup against FC Girondins de Bordeaux. He had played in the 1967 FAI Cup Final losing to Shamrock Rovers. Noel was the clubs top scorer in 1968–69 and 1969–70.

While with St Pats he made his full international debut on 30 May 1971 [1].

The following season he moved to Fortuna Köln in Germany. From 1971 to 1973 he made 51 appearances and scored nine goals in the Regionalliga West; he also played five games and scored two goals in the promotion play-off to the Bundesliga. In 1973–74 he played 29 Bundesliga games and when he played against Borussia Mönchengladbach on 11 August 1973, he became the first Irishman to play in the Bundesliga. From 1974 to 1979 he scored 16 goals in 110 Bundesliga Division Two games.

Campbell won 11 caps for Ireland, one in his St. Patrick's Athletic days and a further ten whilst under contract to Fortuna Köln (becoming, in 1972, the first Irishman to appear in the national colours whilst on the books of a club based in mainland Europe.) He departed the international stage in somewhat ignominious circumstances, dismissed (rather arbitrarily, in the view of contemporary observers) within a minute of his introduction as a substitute in a 1977 World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria in Sofia.

Made his debut for Shamrock Rovers on 3 December 1980 in a Leinster Senior Cup tie. Took over as manager from March 1983 until May 1983.

He is the uncle of Dave Campbell.
