Tributes to Justin
Tears have flowed, and so have tributes. The sudden passing of Justin Edinburgh on Saturday remains tough to comprehend, taken too early at the age of 49.

Off to the O,s today, 18 quid for me and 2quid for my two herberts, a day at the football for a score, lovely !
One of my earliest Spurs memories is of Justin screaming "Yes!" into the tv camera after receiving his winners medal for the '91 FA Cup final.
Whenever I think of Spurs winning something, its always the first image that pops into my head.
I am really saddened by his passing and my thoughts are with his family and friends at this most terrible of times.
RIP Justin

total respect to you for taking this sad news as an opportunity to call an end to all that nastiness and bile surrounding Sol. He did what he did, end of. There is no place at our great club for people. who choose to bear such a grudge. Forgive and forget. Life is too short.No one knows what is around the corner
I wonder if Roy has been asked to comment on Justin's passing??
I'd hope he's man enough to accept that what goes on on a football pitch, stays on a football pitch.
There's no doubting Justin wound Roy right up that day... but they were both in their late teens/early 20's... it's what kids do.
I reckon Keane's playing career justified his aggression and arrogance, and he clearly won more in his time as a player... and fair play to him.
...but now he is an assistant Manager and pundit, and, I think most will agree, that his actual managerial career thus far was/is/has been nothing short of disappointing...
...which is where I think the real tragedy of this story unfolds...
Because Justin Edinburgh was forging a successful managerial career from the grassroots upwards....
A classic case of a decent, journeyman hardworking player, surely destined for bigger things as a manager... and prepared to work his way up, the hard way.... the right way.
It's not always the best players who make the best managers.... and sometimes, the honest, but limited players make better managers than they ever were as players;
Case for the Defence: Keane, Hoddle, Ardiles, Maradona, Ronald Koeman, Gazza (sorry!) John Barnes, Gary Neville, Bruce, Scholes... Shearer!!
...and in the other corner; Ferguson, Mourinho, Wenger (sorry!) and maybe Edinburgh??
It's such a shame we will never see that potential come to fruition.
...'cos one day, it coulda been with us!

Good servant of the club and a shithouse defender of the highest order. Back in the mid 90's, watching Justin sledge an opposing winger until they assaulted him was the peak of entertainment at the Lane.
Hope he's OK.
Hope he's OK.
My mate played under him when he was the manager of Billericay a few years back. Said that Edinburgh was as hard as nails, which is saying something because my mate is a bit of a monster himself. Hopefully he fights through whatever has happened to him and finds a little bit of that bruiser spirit that makes him who he is and that helps him pull through.

Cheers,
Message sent to club and contacted Supporters Trust too.
I'll let you know outcome.
I did.
I was going to go up to Leyton today to leave some flowers and a scarf but once I knew that they were going to designate an area at the stadium I went there instead. Only a couple of bunches there together with a shirt, but the weather was so awful and assume most people at work today. Hope that a few more people get there before the week's out.
I shall send a quote for the condolence book via email.
Still find it hard to take in, too many of our players have suffered recently from health issues and we all feel it.
Loved him, still shocked that he was taken from us at such a young age. Would have loved to have seen him manage us, especially now. God bless, Justin, we miss you.
Really sad news. Not many players stick around as long as he did. Was carving out a nice management career in the lower leagues that’s tragically cut short, and it was lovely to see how much our club still meant to him last week in Madrid
