spencer 1970 207 Posted February 19 On what would have been Justin's 63rd birthday, I wondered what the status of the statue is. Does anyone on here know? There doesnt seem to be an update on the charity website page. https://www.justinstatue.com/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,751 Posted February 19 Before I donate may I ask if the club have responded in any way to this and would be open to the idea? Beacause otherwise any money would be wasted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, all a bit disapointing really. 😶 Also, it's odd how Delia is a supporter of the charity, but NCFC isnt in any "offical club" way. My view completely CC, i was looking to back it, but not without knowing if it's ever likely to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,566 Posted February 19 The Justin Fashanu Foundation’s social media is a bit quiet-no posts on Instagram since August 2021, none on Facebook since his birthday 3 years ago and nothing on X since they posted a statement in November 2022 about the World Cup being held in Qatar. Their latest report to the Charities Commission is overdue by 476 days so all in all it doesn’t look like this is going to happen, sadly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the first six months this appeal had raised less than 10% of the target amount, so it is clear the statue has been shelved for now. It also doesn't take a genius to work out why NCFC were not 'officially' leading the project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bit alarming if they didn't with the overdue accounts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bristol Nest 517 Posted February 19 What a shame. All these years on and still the most referenced gay footballer. I was behind the goal when he scored that wonder volley. My first thought was , how the fukk did he manage that considering he missed many easier chances prior to this game! One of our best and proudly respected by our club when others in football were stuck in a homophobic time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,788 Posted February 19 Playing devils advocate here...but if there were to be a statue outside of carrow rd , of all the players who have played for this club, should it be Fashanu? 2 good seasons before his £1m to Forest. I know its not just about his on field achievements, but should it be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d line the away end with statues of Steve Bruce scoring in the 85 semi final, Grant Holt prancing around with the microphone moustache and Jamie Cureton with his green hair. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand your first point, but then you say you’d rather have a statue for someone who temporarily dyed their hair for a one-off match? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s probably wise not to take everything written on a message board 100% literally. Some things are written in jest or to exaggerate a point. I think he scored that game as well though in fairness, unless my memory is playing tricks on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a good point isn't it. People have different favourite players players for different reasons for different periods throughout their personal experience of supporting the club.
