Synopsis

Abused and ridiculed first for his colour, then his religion and finally for his sexuality, life was never easy for Justin Fashanu. When it ended in tragedy, death was far from simple either for the former sporting icon, Britain's first black GBP1 million footballer and the first and, to date, only English player to confess to being gay. Meticulously researched and drawing upon exclusive interviews and never before seen documents and photographs NICK BAKER'S sensitive but brutally candid portrait reveals the truth behind this troubled soul, his untimely death and sensationally names the people who were to blame for it.

Author Bio
Nick Baker lives in Canada and works as a writer on a television based true crime series for the Discovery Network. Originally from the UK, he spent ten years in England working in regional and national news as a reporter and producer. As a teenager, Baker grew up in Nottingham and watched Justin Fashanu play for Nottingham Forest and Notts County in the early eighties. Curious about what why the footballer's life eventually fell apart so tragically, Baker decided to investigate his life. That curiosity led to this book.
