Fashanu played his best football for Norwich as a young kid, including a bona fide wonder goal that was goal of the season, but I don’t think the £1m move to Forest did him any favours - first £1m black player and all that - and he looked a misfit there. During his short loan from Forest to Saints in 82 I saw him play in most of his nine appearances and he looked really good, back in the groove enjoying his football and I think we should have signed him. As it was he signed for Notts County during their short stay in the top flight and after that was a journeyman in the UK and US which seemed a waste of a once precocious talent. When he came out in 1990 he was at Orient with a career that had been on the buffers for five or six years so not sure whether it was bravery or a final big pay day as the Sun broke the story as an orchestrated scandal. So in that sense the Hall of Fame thing seems a tad painting by numbers, as by the time JF was known as Britain’s ‘first gay footballer’ (what nonsense) his career and potential influence was virtually over. He was a pioneer as he was part of that wave of brilliant black footballers that changed the face of the league in the late 70s and early 80s Cunningham, Regis, Anderson, Moses, Fashanu, Blisset and our Danny Wallace, all of whom experienced crap from the terraces depending on opposition in terms of their race. However, by the 80s this was on the wane and I cannot recall JF or any other player ever getting genuine grief for being gay, notwithstanding the generalised ribbing of Bailey, Gowling and Biley plus the pantomime that was Elton John as Watford Chairman.

Early, but that got a big morning grin T. I fully agree with this strategy...

Ultimately this.

That’ll do - Happy new year!

Thankfully she has broad shoulders...

Gary Glittering top flight career by all accounts!

Perfick!

Dream team with Micky Fialka.

Given Leslie's vintage it's the nearest his ego will get to being on the board of FIFA - Wapping's Sepp Blatter.

Yes clearly, lots of sub par performances

That is my fear too. We are apparently skint so likelihood is a penny pinching sidestep. Won’t end well for the Gaos or the club.

Great, perm in jan would be lovely.

Great goal, great result, enjoying the vertigo!

Excellent!

We need a genuine vitriol sponge...

Is he an ex-goalkeeper? If not, unlikely to fit in... Welcome Richie Kitz...

Ooh Kevin can dance Kevin can jive Having the time of his life Ooh, see that boy On Southampton's scene Kevin's our Danso king...

A touching tribute.

Thank goodness!

Any day now he'll appear grinning with rosy cheeks and a Barbour jacket after appointing Tanni Grey-Thompson as first team coach.
