Richard Campbell

Richard Campbell was the runner-up of Series 27, a semi-finalist in Championship of Champions VII, and a contestant in the Supreme Championship. As of his Series 27 appearances, he was a 20-year-old student from Tolworth, Greater London, studying for a BSc at Brunel University London. As of his Supreme Championship appearances, he was 23 years old, and working in the logistics department of a well-known beverage company, from Hillingdon, Greater London.

With a total of 500 points, he was the second of only six octochamps to score 500 points or more in the 9-round era, and the fifth of twelve members of the 480 club. As the clear number one seed in the finals, he swept aside Pierre Sandrini and Robin Benoy in the quarter- and semi-finals respectively, but came unstuck in the grand final against David Elias, losing 68 – 55.

Campbell returned for Championship of Champions VII, beating Wayne Kelly in the first round before losing heavily to eventual winner Don Reid in his semi-final.

Campbell also played in the Supreme Championship, beating Liz Barber in the first round, but losing to David Trace in the group semi-final.
