justin fashanu a liar or gay

John Fashanu has claimed his brother Justin, the only professional footballer to come out in Britain, was not really gay.
Justin Fashanu came out in 1990, claiming he had had an affair with a Conservative MP, but lived a troubled existence before committing suicide in 1998.
Brother John, whose relationship with Justin was difficult, told talkSPORT: "I don't believe he was gay. Number two, I don't believe he had affairs with MPs...it was just nonsense. Showbiz.
"If you had a brother who came out and said 'hey listen, I'm gay' we'd welcome you, say 'no problem' but if you had someone who came out and said, 'I'm a spaceman' when you're not a spaceman then that's a bit silly."
He continued: "I'm not someone who says 'I've got black friends, they're all good people'. I'm not going to say 'I've got gay friends, who are all good people'.
"It's unfortunate because I don't believe he was, and if he was, who gives a rat's *? So what?
"But don't go and sell your stories or make up stories for money for goodness sake. I'm heterosexual, will I make it on to the front page of the newspapers?"
Earlier this year, John's daughter Amal presented a documentary about her uncle and the wider issue of homosexuality in football.
John said: "My daughter was very close to her uncle and it has taken a long time for her to understand that Justin wasn't really gay, he just wanted attention."


Strange coments

 

I actually don't understand what the * he is talking about? The guy was a complete * to his brother and just can't accept the fact he was gay.

 

Was about to post the same thing. He is an absolute *. He said he never regretted the way he acted toward his brother after it came out, when it could have potentially saved his life, sad sad individual.

 

Completely agree with above!

I honestly believe john thought people would start talking about his own sexuality and assume he was "gay by association" so he condemned his own brother! the fact that he wont even acknowledge what justin did was courageous is just shameful imo... anyone else actually got gay vibes from John though- or just me?

 

Fashanu is an * and very possibly out of his tiny mind, those quotes above sound like the ramblings of a madman.

The guys a Grade A * ,Justin could play a bit and I always found there was a bit of jealousy from John towards Justin ,maybe he did'nt like Justin getting the attention he did when he came out ,still a *.

 

I don't think John Fashanu has any need to be jealous of his brother. John has England caps and an FA Cup winners medal in his back pocket. His brother did not.

 

Strange story indeed.

That documentary was utter pish by the way, the lassie never had a clue what she was on about and it was very poorly researched.

 

I mind watching a doc on bbc about him a while back now and his comments back then and now... he strikes me as homophobic
