Stats
Bio
Hailing from Ganmain in the Riverina, Russell Campbell was a New South Wales product who joined South Melbourne during the club's final turbulent era at Lakeside Oval. A mid-sized utility standing 180cm, he broke into the senior side for a debut in 1978 but found opportunities scarce, managing just four total appearances and three goals across two separate seasons. While his time at VFL level was brief, Campbell forged a respected career after leaving the Swans, playing in South Australia before returning to his home state to serve as the State Director of Coaching for AFL NSW/ACT.
