Citing Fashanu - this was a guy who can hardly be held up as a semblance of a role model. Making up a story about an MP for money, killing himself when facing trial in Murica for having had sex with a minor.. wasn't a nice person.
Nearly as nice as his brother John.

Claimed their mother died from the stress of having a gay son.

Gave an interview a week after Justin came out saying he was an outcast.

Still claims to this day that Justin wasn't gay, just an attention seeker.

With support like that it's no wonder the bloke felt like a lost cause.
