If you read Brian Clough’s book, Walking On Water, he speaks of his regret at how he handled the whole situation with Justin Fashanu, saying he wished he’d tried to of been more understanding. I’d also recommend that you watch the documentary Forbidden Games, which tells the whole of the story of Fashanu’s life. It’s very harsh to blame Brian Clough for all of his woes, remember John, his own brother wasn’t too thrilled when he came out as gay either.
I can thoroughly recommend this, an excellent film.
