The tragic secret that split these football brothers.

I love John Fashanu, his presence, talking with openness and brevity... God bless him

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.

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.

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 YouTube. Great video.

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

Bless the Jackson’s for adopting John and Justin…

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

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

All my respect to you Mr Fash. RIP dear Justin. Thank you Mr and Mrs Jackson for your open arms.

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.

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.

Wow! Didn’t expect to be sat here in a flood of tears. What a story. Well done John, RIP Justin 😔🕊️

Crazy story and he was unbelievably strong to put up with everything and still be a success! Mad respect for him! 👏🏿👏🏿

Omg I'm actually crying. 😥 There's something about a real story of hardship & loss, with no fairy tale ending, that i really appreciate.

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.

This channel needs way more recognition the editing is god level like absolutely seamless

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.

So eloquently spoken could listen to him all night. God bless Justin

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...
