Logline
Abused and ridiculed first for his colour, then his religion, and finally, for his sexuality. Life was never easy for Justin Fashanu. He was Britains first black footballer paid 1 Million, and the first English player to come out as gay. The trauma caused by overwhelming rejection from his family and the public eventually led Fashanu to take his own life, forever leaving a stain on social issues that are still ignored today in football culture.
