Forbidden Forward Summary

Forbidden Forward: The Justin Fashanu Story by Nick Baker

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.
