On 2 May, 2008, Jason journeys from Brighton to London to the spot where Justin Fashanu, the first and only openly gay footballer, committed suicide ten years ago. The journey is interspersed with a heartfelt message from Jason to John Fashanu, Justin’s younger brother. In staging his own private vigil to remember Justin, Jason marks the start of a campaign, The Justin Campaign, against homophobia in football.
