The late Justin Fashanu became the first £1million black footballer following his move from Norwich City to Nottingham Forest in 1981. He also remains to this day the only openly gay footballer to have played professionally in the UK. To honour his impact, Justin was inducted into the National Football Museum’s Hall of Fame last season where his niece Amal, who founded the Justin Fashanu Foundation and very much a trailblazer in her own right, picked up the posthumous award on his behalf.
