Blackpool boss Holloway: I wanted DJ Campbell so badly

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway admits he'd thrilled to have signed former Leicester City striker DJ Campbell.

After his successful loan last season, Campbell signed for Pool on deadline day last week.

"I've wanted DJ so badly, I think he suits us and he is absolutely vital for this football club and the energy at this football club. Never is someone so well suited to come to a club as DJ is," Holloway told the club's website.
