Like you DI, he has roscommon ancestry.

Came across this: http://www.roscommonherald.com/news/kfcwkfsngb/

Costa Rican striker Joel Campbell, who is on the verge of joining Arsenal, has Roscommon roots.

It has been widely reported in various media outlets, including Wikipedia, that Campbell’s grandfather was an ex-missionary priest, Fr. Noel Campbell from Roscommon.

Hmm...

I posted that before and said the exact same, in fairness I doubt the Roscommon Herald have many journalist connections in South America.

But i do know of the Fr Noel Campbell story if it is his grandfather.
