Former-professional footballer Sol Campbell has apologised to Tottenham Hotspur fans for his recent comments about his move to fierce-rivals Arsenal, but he still insists that he has no regrets over the move.
The recently-retired centre-back told Spurs fans to ‘get over the fact he left them’, but ahead of this Sunday’s North London Derby, Campbell has tried to make mends with his former-supporters by apologising for his comments.
However, the Englishmen has also stated that he has no regrets over the move in 2001 because it lead to more successful times.
Campbell said: ‘I’m sorry about the situation with me going and I’m sorry how it happened.
‘I’m not going to apologise for the move (to Arsenal) because I was very successful.
‘I’m sorry about the hurt it inflicted on them.’
He added: ‘I am shocked a little bit. It’s been well over a decade, but you’ve got to look at the situation.
‘The Spurs fans appreciated me and I tried to move the club on when I was there.
‘I even proposed a contract to them and I thought If they can pay me this, they can pay other guys to move the club on.’
