Forbidden Games: The Justin Fashanu Story plot

This documentary tells the tragic true story of Justin Fashanu, the first and only openly gay professional football player. He rose to fame in 1980 after scoring the best goal of the season against Liverpool. This resulted in the recruitment of a whole generation of black footballers in the English league. As a child he was abandoned and raised by a white foster family in the UK, but he faced many difficulties. Despite bigotry and bullying from unruly football fans during the Thatcher era, Fashanu didn't give up and openly admitted being gay.
