The Justin Fashanu story
This was a mega enlightening read, not only was JF the first million pound black footballer in the UK but currently the only big name player to come out about being homo-sexual.
Nothing here has been skipped from the early promise of stardom at Norwich to his nightmare at Forest under Clough, the Nottingham gay scene, getting back at Notts County, forced to come out to the papers, playing in the USA,Canada and Scotland, his troubles with money, being disowned by his brother, his born again Christanity and his eventual suicide.
