At a time when black players were routinely subjected to racist abuse he rose to fame as a forward for Norwich City where he scored a famous goal. But it also tells of clubs eager to sign him, support from managers and teammates, and affection from supporters.Īs a child, Justin Fashanu was put into care and eventually raised by white foster parents in Norfolk.
