Do we just assume that the guy making the allegations was out for money or something? why should we assume he was guilty of the allegations That's not what I was suggesting. My reading of his situation is that it probably was consensual but unless the other guy comes forward and admits that he lied there's no way to be sure. Guilt and fear of what the future would hold are absolutely reasons why somebody could choose to kill themselves. For that reason I'd have picked somebody else. All that being said, the artwork does look great. Edited July 19, 2023 by KeiranShikari 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,233 Posted July 19, 2023 I spotted it on the drive home today. Looked good. I'll wander down there later and take a couple of pictures. May as well have a pint while I'm there. Rude not to! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keelan was my first hero (after Hugh Curran) - love to see a statue of him flying through the air somewhere or punching an opposing forward 😂😂😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coneys Knee 989 Posted July 19, 2023 It’s a fantastic painting. Justin Fashanu deserves to be recognised by the club. I don’t think I’d have chosen it to be him, certainly not as a single portrait but equally I’m not unhappy with it. I’d have preferred some kind of montage I think.

This guy done an investigation into it all, if you're really interested: https://briandeer.com/justin-fashanu.htm Don't think it's worth questioning the validity of him appearing on that wall though, as pointed out earlier he wasn't without fault but the abuse he received for both his sexual orientation, skin colour and some absurd comments from his own brother most likely done their fair share of damage throughout the years. Black lives matter, and LGBT rights have sat atop of most agendas when it comes to equality today, I think that's why it's worth tributing his struggles as a player.

percy varco 200 Posted July 20, 2023 Would have loved to see Keelan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,233 Posted July 20, 2023 I don't know anything about the owner of the pub but I'd guess they chose the subject of the mural and had reasons for choosing what they did. Fashanu may have been a favourite player when they were a kid. Who knows. I like it anyway. It looked even better close up with a lovely pint yesterday! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole "warrant for arrest" thing was rubbish, probably perpetuated by a homophobic media. A Shoreditch police officer gave evidence at Fashanu's inquest and stated that he had made inquiries with the US and confirmed that there was no warrant for his arrest. His investigation doesn't stand up to much scrutiny; ignoring the fact that he constantly refers to the "trial" that Fashanu dodged as if it was inevitably going to happen when it patently wasn't, just look at the conveniently anonymous emails he's put at the bottom. Huge coincidence that these two unconnected sources yet the both happen to start their emails with "for some reason". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corbs1 90 Posted July 22, 2023 Came up from London on Friday just to see the mural, marvellous. Only met Justin once, in the Caribbean club, Rose Lane. I had never been there before and we went there because I was certain no one there would know me and my companion. That day , Saturday we had lost at Old Trafford, and Justin had been substituted due to injury. He look pretty fit on the dance floor, and damn cool. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,297 Posted July 28, 2023 Drove past today, looks incredible! Thought it might have been something a bit more recent though, Grant Holt or Wes? Other thing(s) that stood out on my trip into the city (on a weeks holiday to the broads). The blue and white Anglian Improvements logo on the Barclay still looks wrong, and bar the South stand, how tired is Carrow Road looking? Even the hotel has all sorts of discolouration?! Needs serious investment. It’ not just the City Stand that should be under consideration! Perhaps more murals to paper over the cracks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,401 Posted July 28, 2023 A wonderful tribute to Justin. Lovely to see it👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted July 28, 2023 I'm happy with the choice of Justin, esp such a great portrait. Wes, or Keelan, would have been great alternatives, but grant already has a permanent tribute mural at the fc&c on the first garage around the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
