following year. Yet another trophy denied. Dave had a string of them in the early nineties: with Bohs in 1990, he saw St Francis deprive them of a crack at the FAI Cup, beating them at the Semi-final stage. Three years later, with Pats, Dundalk did the same, and Limerick did it in the League Cup. And it wouldn't end there: with Shels, runners up in the League in 1998, beaten in both the Cup and League Cup Finals, and beaten again (by Bray) in the Cup Semi-final the following year. After a protracted transfer saga for a then domestic record fee of £20,000 he joined Shels and made his debut for the "Reds" against Bohs in September 1996. Campbell was harshly sent off in a 1996–97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup tie against a Tore André Flo inspired SK Brann. He avenged his Cup Final defeat the previous season by picking up a winners medal and incredibly scoring again with Shels in the 1997 FAI Cup. He was part of the Shels team that were going for the treble in 1998 and unbelievably ended up with nothing after losing the League Cup final, the FAI Cup Final and the League Title on the last day. That blow was probably softened by winning the Double with Shels in 2000. For the 2010 season he was Chief Scout at the now defunct Sporting Fingal where he worked for ex Pats teammate Liam Buckley. He was appointed to the staff at St Patricks Athletic when Buckley took over as manager in Dec 2011. Family His uncle is former Rovers manager Noel Campbell. His father Jimmy played for Rovers, Pats and Sligo while another uncle Johnny played for Drumcondra and St Patrick's Athletic and yet another uncle Hubert played for Sligo Rovers. His son Daniel played 2 games for St Patrick's Athletic in the 2014 season, after coming through the club's Under 19 team.
