Campbell hopes for more derby glory

- Published
Sheffield United striker Tyrese Campbell is hoping for a second Steel City derby victory on Sunday after scoring the winner back in November.
The 25-year-old broke the deadlock in a 1-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday at Bramall Lane.
Ahead of the return fixture at Hillsborough, he says he is focused on securing a double over their city rivals.
"It was an experience I'd never really had and as soon as I came out to warm up you could see how much it meant to everyone," Campbell told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"I knew I would get a chance and I had to take it and luckily for me and the team I did.
"Every time I see a Blades fan they say next time they see me they'll buy me a drink. I appreciate it and I'll definitely take some of them up on it!
"The most important thing is the team getting the three points. It would be lovely to score again but the aim to win is the bigger thing.
"Everyone wants bragging rights and it was very important to us that we got that, especially being at home. We'll aim to do it again on Sunday."
Campbell joined Sheffield United from Stoke City last summer, and says it has been a dream move after a tough season in the Potteries.
"I had a stop-start season last season and didn't manage to play that many games. I'm just grateful that they took the chance to sign me and I just hope I can repay them," he said.
"The manager has been brilliant and given me a platform to perform which has been great because I didn't have a pre-season with a team.
"I'm just happy to be playing and doing my thing."
