Bless the Jackson’s for adopting John and Justin…
Wow! Didn’t expect to be sat here in a flood of tears. What a story. Well done John, RIP Justin 😔🕊️
Justin spent a few months living in my hometown of Greenrigg and he was an absolute gentleman, hounded by the press but gave so much of his time to the kids helping them training at football and giving the under privileged training gear, he could play as well. rest easy big man
Didn’t know what to expect as I didn’t know who he was. But boy am I glad I did. UNBELIEVABLE story. Why isn’t this on Netflix or something? Saying that, I’m very grateful we get quality content like this for free on CZcams. Great video.
A lot of documentaries have been released
There is a long documentary on justing check it out. Dunno where tho
Look for the doc done by John fashanu daughter. You will see John's true colours in that one.
He use to host gladiators (old one)
He is not a nice man.
As a black man in England we all need to be ready to stand u strong, its so sad their dad left them, as men we must never leave our families.
Your brothers words to you were beautiful. Nothing better than fighting against and making the most ignorant among us look silly. Amazing story. Always heard the name but never the story.
This channel needs way more recognition the editing is god level like absolutely seamless
I agree ❤❤❤❤❤
As a Wimbledon supporter I would just like to send my gratitude to an extremely underrated player for giving me so many special moments as i child growing up watching him and the rest of the Crazy Gang in the 90's. Thank you John. R.I.P Justin
Great times being a football fan at Plough Lane COYD'S!!!!!!!! 🔵🟡🔵🟡
"Underrated?" Massively overrated. How he ever played for England is beyond me.
What an articulate man. I am 61 but when my dad first took me to the football my team had 2 black players, this was the early 70's, it was normal to me & those players were my heroes at Bradford.
“Articúlate” 🤔
Bro you know whats crazy, besides this not getting the recognition it deserves, you literally used half of my study playlist for this video! Big ups to Mr Fashanu he is a crazy story teller and rest in peace to his brother. This shit hits different when you have older brothers yourself...
That was an excellent watch, great work,
Despite what sadly became of Justin, both he and John are total legends and their story will go on after we are all gone,
Omg I'm actually crying. 😥 There's something about a real story of hardship & loss, with no fairy tale ending, that i really appreciate.
Thank you John. God bless you. You triumphed against the odds, as did Wimbledon, and showed that with determination you can come through impossible situations and win. Really inspiring, thanks for sharing it with us, I had no idea.
What a great story and a great man!
John is another of our teachers that we needed 40 years ago.
It’s a bittersweet story. You can see that he’s has regrets. Death puts a lot of things into perspective. I believe that he sincerely loved his brother.
This man is a living legend when it comes to inspiring young people. I remember my foster dad telling me his story as a young boy.
Thank you. John and Justin
This was a truly beautiful piece of time for an autobiography that couldn’t have been narrated any better by anyone else to tell their story. What an absolute gent and hard bastard John fashanu was
Beautifully narrated John, an eventful life for you and your brother....May he rest in eternal peace ✌🏽
Wow what a powerful watch that was,life lessons in there for everyone too,superb production well done to all involved😉👍.
Cried my eyes out to Ian wright now balling to Bash. Both men iconic to the British game. RIP Justin 🙏🏻
Justin was a child molester. No tears.
I watched his first game for Lincoln City and he just oozed class from the second he stepped onto the pitch.
Great player and and great man …what a star 👍
Emotional story; but NO tears from me, just genuine fond memories of Justin and John Fashanu. Both knew how to look after themselves on the pitch... For Justin to 'come out' THAT took balls, BIG BALLS.!. Much respect to BOTH of you. R.I.P Justin Fashanu, and wishing contentment to you John Fashanu 🙏
Didn't Justin abuse children?
Watched all the shorts on this channel great editing skills now on to the video,s
It's tough to watch this, rip Justin we all remember THAT goal as kids against Liverpool.
thank you john for such a beautiful story that touched my soul and made me cry, love to you and justin and your parents where ever they all may be. xxxxxxxxxxx
Imma need a full documentary on that roc nation short lol, would be super interesting to watch. Nice job though got so much info in such a short time
Excellent story. Excellent perseverance. Strong man, I wish him all the best.
Thank you for this well done
I was there at Wembley that day in 1988 to see John Fashanu and the Crazy Gang make history. It was sad to hear about the fate of his brother. I do remember seeing the news reports at the time.
What two beautiful people inside and out......
I grew up in the neighbouring village to where they grew up. Despite their fame no one mentioned them. Always struck me as bizarre to ignore these excellent footballers
In 1996, my parents temporarily moved us to Kent, UK whilst my dad was sponsored to do breast cancer research. From Kurdistan, Iraq to Kent, with the idea of then permanently settling in Italy 1.5 years later. I was enrolled in a local school in Kent and at the time. I was basically the only 'foreign' kid in my year. There was one UK born and bred Turkish kid and that's it. The rest were all English kids. At the end of my first week, one of the kids in my class was so insulted by my presence that he started singing the popular Christmas song but with its words altered: 'I'm dreaming of a WHITE Britain like the one I used to know'. He sang this over and over again in front of the entire class. All the other kids laughing their heads off all the while the teacher pretended to be deaf. I was 14 years old. Never in my life did I feel as alone as I did on that day. People have no idea what prejudice does to people. It never leaves you.
Its a pity Justin isint around to tell his part of the story.
Really moving and powerful. You’re a true hero John Fashanu.
Great video 👍
Thought John was all for himself and did Justin bad.
John, that story cut me so deep. I cannot imagine the resolve you have to go through dealing with racism, I copped nowhere near as much as you but it scarred me. I still look on Facebook trying to find those who made my life horrible during those times, hoping I can find and turn up to their door as a man. Luckily, for them, or me, they are nowhere to seen. It's a pain that I just cant let go of, which has some grip on my life.
I've only ever experienced racism from white people and oriental people. Both, which I am mixed with. How mind fucking is that.
I wonder whether Justin was abused whiles hex was at the Bernardo home
Both great footballers, John is a proper legend.
Just Wow, I was a kid during this time and only saw headlines. So good to hear the story from those who were the story.
Wow what a story
They’re two cute handsome young boys! Justin was the best black footballer I knew after Pele and Eusebio, easily and hands down. RIP Justin. I knew their father and white step mother and mixed race step brothers and sister. I lived in the same area as the father.
Loved fash the bash top lad
God bless you brother
Money makes people do crazy things..........like being the first black footballer to sign for Millwall FC in 1984 when Britain was an extremely racist country!! I have mad respect for John for paving the way for an entire generation of young black players to come through by fighting back and succeeding.
Justin all the way even in death he is a great footballer
🔥🔥🔥
Steve Mcmanaman 😂 John has lost his marbles.
Way too much scandal follows certain types of people, they go through life doing what they want but they all come crashing down
Rip Justin ❤
Wow! ❤
You see life? Most people now have never heard of Justin Fashanu -- only John Fashanu. In my 50s now, I did hear of Justin back in the day; but to imagine there was a time there was John trying to pretend to be Justin is a thing people should stop to think about life. Times change and everything is fleeting
Wow what a storyline
What an eloquent man….. great show
John's football career was cut short early, but did allow him to do the great work he did on Gladiators, so all clouds
The agent wanted to come out also 😂😂😂😂😂
John needed that slap!
A beautiful tribute to Justin Fanshanu by his brother John.
“My agent now wanted to come out now,that he was gay” 👀🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️
You can hear me laughing in the background at that part 😂😂😂
@wehustleclips 😂😂😂
A little confused, was the agent gay too or he wanted to oust the story Fashanu wanted hushed ?😮
That's John Fashaaanooo
Heavy story like the rest and England is truly the foundation of gossip!
😂
😂😂😂
If only the Jacksons realised how racist norfolk was at the time, but God bless them for caring at that time
He had a difficult relationship with his brother no doubt
Maybe it's time Vinicius Jr went ballistic on his haters.
John was a more than nasty player whose main objective in any game was to do serious damage to opposition defenders.
I agree i thought he was a thug but off the pitch he comes across as a very articulate man. As for justin, he was such a talented player who couldve achieved so much more. Tragic how he died so young. R I P .
Growing up in Nigeria the Fashanu brothers inspire us.
This is so touching, hearing from another perspective
John should be ashamed of how he treated his brother...so sad.
Dramatic
Manage time, and resources carefully.
John was awful about Justin being gay.could be because of prejudice, but it was his brother
Dont blame yourself john..
I didn't like John Fashanu, because of his presenting style. It felt too minstrel for me at the time with his awooga. But I never knew his backstory in that much detail, I knew he had a gay brother. Everyone knew that with the tabloids. But to hear his life, I've got a whole knew respect for him and he's gone up ten fold. If I had seen John before this, I wouldn't care. But now I would like to think I would go up to ask him can I hug you and say thank you. For standing up and being strong in face racist.
Why would "awooga" come across as minstrel? Its actually a Nigerian word
@@jonblazeinc Really don't give me that bullshit about it's a Nigerian word. He's not Nigerian and wasn't speaking to a bunch of Nigerians. Another thing, I've never heard or seen Nigerians use this as a greeting.
@itsawinnerfereal well Fashanu said it was himself once when presenting Gladiators if wrong then my bad , I've heard Craig Charles use awooga a lot back in the 90s too....not sure why the attitude from yourself, I'm just saying a word doesn't make someone minstrel but I guess you're one of those ignorant types who would have preferred John to act militant and ghetto to show that he's "still black"...the man was lively and bubbly character on Gladiators viewers loved him, also people who watched him playing for Wimbledon knew he was no nonsense anyway
Let this be a lesson to you of how bizarre and nonsensical it is to not like someone you've never even met.
@@itsawinnerfereal
He is Nigerian stupid.Get your facts straight.
😢😢😢
😢😮😢😢😮
What a story🥹
Anybody else spot the Black Millwall hooligans?
The next ronaldo before ronaldo
Millwall and Wimbledon Legend. BIG UP FASH.
I remember big Ron signing Fash. I was probably only about 10. Felt like a strange signing because we kept the ball on the grass.
Yes Villa...Fash retired after his 1 and only season there which surprised me as he was still 31 years old
@@jonblazeinc The knee injury answered the retirement question for him.
@@eclectica1 yes I remarked before end of the video, although it wasn't a career ending knee injury as Fashanu said he decided to retire from that he could have recovered and play on
👍 He'd already had his best years at Wimbledon, by that point. A peculiar signing by Big Ron (that Villa side was quality, back then, too, runners up to United in '92/93)...
Steve McMahon, not McManaman
God bless to both of them
88 final Jones tackled Steve McMahon not McManaman 😅
True must have been a slip of the tongue
He glossed over the Millwall incident - Graham humiliated him in front of everyone.
He got onside for Millwall by going violently over the top on behalf of his teammates and in front of the fans.
They were happy with his brute stereotype. He's described it differently and more sincerely elsewhere.
Bullshit john even last year was hating his brother which he disowned rhere loads of clips and podcasts he done.. but now documentary and he changed.. he one of reasons he took his life
Fash The Bash
Wat about the match fixing
I saw Justin once in a supermarket. He was wearing shorts. I'll always remember the massive, well toned thighs of this gorgeous tall black giant browsing the cold shelves nonchalantly.
Years prior I had met this man drinking one evening in a neighbouring backyard. My dad explained to myself and my siblings that the man's sons were footballers back in England. When I relocated here, the Fashanus were still big here and I realised it was their father I met chilling with the others.
The one and only time I ever spoke to John following an introduction through a mutual friend, I shared the childhood memory of seeing his dad that one time.
Suspect
Which dad?, the adoptive or biological?
How was Justin new Ronaldo
When Ronaldo started playing way after him
lol
You just dumb and can’t understand context I guess. I’m sure you know what it means just try thinking harder
He's making the point of the level of the player he was
It’s called Figure of Speech- it’s to let the new generation know how good Justin was.
Respect Big Fash 🙏
May Waheguru Ji bless Justin 🙌 soul❤❤❤❤..
What a gent 🎩
Anything but, he’s a thug.
@@Yotsukaido why? 😂
Ambassador ! 🤗
The last verb to deploy here is hustle. Grift, yes, not hustle.
What was the allegation? I want to know before I pass judgment
He was accused of being with a young fella not of age.
Joey Barton would have been perfect for the 80s/90s Crazy Gang.
Big John, Bless & your family.🙏🏾🤲🏽
Why does he talk like hes talking to a 5 year old?
That's just the British accent.
Coz he's a narcissist.
What do you mean?
@@stefan2005stefanI don't think so, it's just the way he talks sometimes especially on difficult subjects, I've met him before in 2013.
That is what white people from Norwich people sound like
How can Justin be the next Ronaldo?
I think he meant Pele of maradona
😂 It’s a Figure of Speech
So that the younger generation understand. He is speaking in the present
