Sol Campbell suffered penalty-shootout heartache at three major tournaments with England - and he fared no better on his managerial debut with Macclesfield.
The former England star had no doubt dreamt about managing at the likes of St James’ Park when he set out in search of a job six years ago - and here he was making his belated bow, albeit in front of 1,126 in the Checkatrade Trophy.
Campbell looked the part in suit and tie but The Silkmen were not as smart from 12 yards and, after striker Scott Wilson salvaged a 1-1 draw to cancel out Elias Sorensen's first-half opener, Ben Stephens was the fall guy in the shootout.
