I don’t know if I can quite call it the ‘end of an era’.
And don’t worry, after his performances in the second half of the season, I won’t be calling it the ‘end of an error’ either.
The club announced last night that Lee Camp is set to leave the club now that his contract is over. Camp leaves the club having made 86 appearances for the club since we signed him in the summer of 2018, keeping 20 clean sheets and a few penalties along the way, although it wasn’t totally smooth sailing throughout the time we was here.
Whether it’s recency bias on his performances since the Championship restart, or whether it was their genuine feeling, it seems as though the 35-year-old will leave the club in a positive light in the eyes of most supporters, at least if these tweets are anything to go by.
Thank you for all your efforts, Lee. We signed you on a free and you gave us more value than we imagined. Once a blue…

Don’t get the hate? One of the players to walk away with any credit since the lockdown

A proper Blues player. A real entertainer in goal, master of the penalty save and time wasting. Fans warned to him more and more the longer he was here. Thanks Campy 👏👏

Shame to see him go but good luck Campy always an enjoyable time with him in Goal, could make world class saves but also some shocking errors🤣one of a kind!

Don’t get all the negativity from blues fans towards him. One of very few to come out of last season with any credit and especially post lockdown when most of them had clearly downed tools and stopped being professionals.

Thanks for the service but its the right decision.

What about you? What do you make of Camp’s time at St Andrew’s?
