I love John Fashanu, his presence, talking with openness and brevity... God bless him
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 UA-cam. 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 up strong, its so sad their dad left them, as men we must never leave our families.
75% of black fathers leave
💯💯💪🏽🫱🏾🫲🏽
@@d2dar459 they got paid quite well for the adoption, Social Services now steal babies, to forcibly get them adopted by people they pay thousands. They have destroyed many families by stealing their babies.
Disgusting how it used to be and how things still are in football and some parts of England. We are British, not divided by race or ethnicity but equal by nationality. God bless you.
Justin and Phillip - another brother of the Fash’s - travelled to Nigeria and were reunited with their father in 1982. Their father had remarried to a white lady. Justin and Phillip met their other siblings from their father’s second marriage.
I saw that Justin fashanu goal on Match of the day. Remember it like it was yesterday. We forget what these trailblazers had to endure. Amazing bravery from Jon to speak so openly.
All my respect to you Mr Fash. RIP dear Justin.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Jackson for your open arms.
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.
As s man united supporter, i always felt that John was tougher than vinnie jones, something he do not get credit for
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
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
We are so blest to have you and your brother Justin Fashanu put Nigeria on the map. Even though your father abandoned you both, you still kept your wonderful Nigerian surname, and introduced yourself as a Nigerian in this meaningful documentary.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so honest and frank about your life journey.
So many of us can relate. God bless you always darling John.
P.S Thank you for settling back in Nigeria.
Would Justin Fashanu be welcome as a gay man in Nigeria.
yes @@PatrickKelly-lz3pv
Brother John Fashanu thank you for sharing your story. Much thanks to the Jackson's for adopting you and Justin. There are so many moral lessons and teachable moments from your story. May Justin Fashanu keep resting in peace.
Bless the Jackson’s for adopting John and Justin…
Hmmmmm not too sure on that one
Wow! Didn’t expect to be sat here in a flood of tears. What a story. Well done John, RIP Justin 😔🕊️
Omg I'm actually crying. 😥 There's something about a real story of hardship & loss, with no fairy tale ending, that i really appreciate.
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 (he had been asked to clear a locker that wasn't his for me to use) 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.
I'm sorry this happened to you. The worst thing is when adults who should know better choose to keep quiet and look the other way.
@@bearkiels9032 I appreciate your kind words. And yes, you are right. Even when I'd tell my parents, they'd shut me down for the sake of not making a scene. They kept telling me to just lay low and 'not encourage it'. Try and not stand out they said.
The teacher was terrible!😕
@@nawi332 What can you do? She probably wasn't trained to deal with such things. Things aren't like as they are now in the world. Here in Italy, kids are taught to talk out vs bullying and prejudice. A no tolerance attitude. If you don't teach it, kids just don't know better. For me personally it was tremendously shocking because we thought we had moved to a very 'developed' country 😂
DIsgusting mate, god bless you
Crazy story and he was unbelievably strong to put up with everything and still be a success! Mad respect for him! 👏🏿👏🏿
Yes, it what made him who he was. He had to be tough and boy he was playing around the time of tough tough guys like Mick Hartford and Terry Hurlock
It's tough to watch this, rip Justin we all remember THAT goal as kids against Liverpool.
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” 🤔
I mean “ Black men” can’t be articulate. The man was born in England. I wonder what he wanted John to sound like.
@@activeobserver1150 l never said what you are implying that l did. Regardless of colour or race, some are able to verbally express themselves better than others.
This channel needs way more recognition the editing is god level like absolutely seamless
I agree ❤❤❤❤❤
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...
So eloquently spoken could listen to him all night. God bless Justin
Jesus Christ... I'm as straight as an ARROW Jamaican but this story brought tears to my eyes.. RIP JF
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.
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,
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.
I shed a tear watching this 😢😢😢😢 Hope God keeps everyone down watching this has a great life ❤️
You can tell he really misses his brother. John is a top man!
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?
Great speaking John. I knew you at Wimbledon and the crazy gang. Wiggy and all the good lads. You always speak so well. It was a pleasure to have known you. May God bless and protect you. Keep strong Sir.
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 👍
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
John is another of our teachers that we needed 40 years ago.
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
Why isn’t this a Netflix special? This is absolutely incredible.
The tears in Johns eyes whilst watching Justin so very sad 😢
What a great story and a great man!
John, I met Justin in New Zealand in 1994. Really lovely friendly fella.
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.
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
So sad but what a strong guy to get through that racism
What a beautiful story. Well told, and so enjoyed. Thank you for bringing your story to life. 🙏🏾
Its a pity Justin isint around to tell his part of the story.
Beautifully narrated John, an eventful life for you and your brother....May he rest in eternal peace ✌🏽
I went to the same high school as the brothers did, a couple of years behind them. There was so much love and respect there for them both.
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.
Wow what a powerful watch that was,life lessons in there for everyone too,superb production well done to all involved😉👍.
Excellent story. Excellent perseverance. Strong man, I wish him all the best.
Really moving and powerful. You’re a true hero John Fashanu.
Thank you for this well done
So honest and sensitively told. God bless this lovely man.
No fan of football but man, he can tell a story. Intrigued. .sorry for his loss
I wonder whether Justin was abused whiles hex was at the Bernardo home
Justin Fashanu came to Nigeria in 1982 with another brother who was studying law or, was in the law profession to reunite with their father. Their father had remarried to a white lady and, had a family with her. Both Justin and Phillip - their other brother - played an exhibition game with one of the local teams. Justin’s father mentioned in one of the main newspapers in Nigerian that he did not abandon his boys. Justin later mentioned to one of the Nigerian television stations that he wished England made it through to the semifinals of the World Cup in 1982 as England were about to play against Spain in their last game of the second phase of the 1982 World Cup. Very interesting memories. John did not make that trip.
Bless you Ms Jackson for helping the boys
I’m so sorry for all you had to endure just because you were different. I hope you keep sharing your experience ( because there are too many people like the teacher) and that it propelled you in some way to success.
I met John; He'd come to kenya to start/fund some TV station that didn't do very well...that was around 2000. I had read a bit about Justin and seen some clips of him in his apogee...and I thought how unfortunate! been wishing that this story is done and am glad. Hats off to the Fashanus; these guys went through an emotional wringer...and when Balotelli arrived and I had read his story; it is the Fashanus that came to mind yet again! Thanks bro for giving me a fan; closure. I was more of a fan of the Fashanus from the perspective of 'the hounding of David Oduwale' rather than football. Was all in my quest after living in the british isles, to understand what I found to be such a peevish society.
Watched all the shorts on this channel great editing skills now on to the video,s
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
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.
Thanks John, for sharing your story
Incredibly moving story and so eruditely told by his brother.
Wow, what a brilliant documentary.
God bless you John. And your spectacular brother Justin 🙏
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
Neutral just hoping for a classic final, from the 2 best teams of the season. It has matchups, both teams play both sides of the floor, any team can lock down the other. What a final, can't wait. Pundits say Boston, but Luca & Kyrie have ego's the size of an ocean. Let the quality and IQ of these finals go down in history as one to remember.
Tears in my eyes watching this.
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.
Beautiful and tragic where success was bourne from .
Sucess was triumphant through adversity.
Hate took and took but love won .
We should all take something from this epic true story .
Rest in peace to Justin Fashanu .
His death wasn't in vain .
I hope if anything came from it , it was a brutal and a sacrifice of life which should be a yardstick that hate and fear cause deaths.
Let this beautiful tragedy tramsit the message and hopefully even if it saves and changes a few then some good has come from bad .
Fash d bash you are very strong. I'm so sorry for what happened to Justin, just hearing it the first time. I like especially how you have been grooming up coming footballers. I will say don't ever neglect your passion,you will be remembered for it.
God bless you brother
You are a Legend, Bro.
Such a humble man ❤
I'm sorry for the loss of your brother 😢😢😢😢
THAT goal against Liverpool, remember watching it on MOTD never forgot it
Wow what a story
Great video 👍
Uncle John is a very good friend of mine.We met in Kaduna in 2009 during my service year.He kept referring to me and picked me out from the crowd and told me to meet him when I returned to Lagos.We’ve been friends since then.A very resilient and hardworking person.We did a lot of things together.He likes money lol
Big up the Fashanu’s they had it tougher than tough 🤴🏿🤴🏿🤴🏿🤴🏿🤴🏿🤴🏿🤴🏿🤴🏿👑👑👑👑👑❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯
What a great speaker
Love you Fash the bash . Justin Fashanu RIP ❤
I cried😢
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.
What two beautiful people inside and out......
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.
🔥🔥🔥
You are amazing 👏
Deep 🙏🏻
Looks like a nice brother, big up!!
R.I.P Justin
My condolences ❤
Wow! ❤
amazing video, justin fashuna played in scotland for hearts
Rip Justin ❤
Loved fash the bash top lad
Thought John was all for himself and did Justin bad.
He did Justin wrong, but he does seem genuinely remorseful. It was a long time ago, and although it doesn’t make how he conducted himself any better, he’s seems to have changed for the better. It’s sad that it took something like losing his brother to see the errors of his ways
What an eloquent man….. great show
The gifted Fashanu brothers. Heard of them
This is so touching, hearing from another perspective
Justin used to train at my school with the local team. This was after he came out as gay. He got so much abuse from the kids as the pitch they used was right where the transitions happened between classes. He ignored it as best he could, but that must have been horrible to go through.
Good video
