Colin Campbell (born 1 December 1956 in Benbecula) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a midfielder.
Career
Campbell began his football career at amateur level in the Outer Hebrides, making his debut for the Benbecula team aged just ten.[1] He later played for Harris and helped them to the Lewis and Harris Football League title in 1978.[1] By this time Campbell was a student at Edinburgh University and while playing for the university football team he was recommended to Hibernian, signing for them in the summer of 1978.[1] Making his debut in October that year, Campbell finished the season with a Scottish Cup runners-up medal. After a second season with Hibs ended in relegation, Campbell moved to Dundee United but played just four times during the 1980-81 season. Campbell moved to Airdrieonians and, despite being in the Premier Division, dropped down to part-time football to combine working in his own sports shop. A short spell with Meadowbank Thistle followed before he "more or less stopped playing at 28",[1] although he did subsequently appear for Spartans in the East of Scotland Football League.
