Justin Edinburgh RIP

[getintoem]

Absolutely shocked and stunned by this sad news. Deepest condolences to his family, friends and all at Leyton Orient.

 

[Bobby dazzler]

I am gutted. On the odd occasion I would bump into him he would always stop and say hello. I knew him from his time right from the beginning with us and I never found him to be anything other than a polite , personal person even whilst with Spurs.
I wish his family all my love for their great loss

Top player, terrible shame to pass so young. Very, very sad news.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

A Great player and a great man. I think this has really hit and saddened every Southend fan today, even tho he left our club ages ago. I always felt it wasn't the end of the story tho, and that he would come back and be our manager one day. So sad it's not to be.

I just posted on the ex players thread, perhaps we can merge the two? So sad, one of the first players I remember watching playing for Southend in 89/90, great player, probably close to an England call up at times.

Yes, me too.

My thoughts are with Kerri, Charlie and Cydnie and the wider Edinburgh family. A great player, manager & bloke and an enormous miss to football, and especially our friends (tonight) in East London. I hope everyone associated with Justin can take some strength from the love and kind wishes out there tonight.

Once a shrimper, always a shrimper. RIP Justin.

Great banner, well done, whoever was responsible

 

[Harry Bullocks]

R.I,P Justin a terrible loss ,thoughts go to his family friends and past and present clubs.
If we are playing ORIENT in a friendly perhaps that would be a good chance to show our respect to a past shrimper.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

He started with us and helped us start our most successful period ever as part of the Div 4 89/90 promotion winning team.

So very sad. RIP Justin

This exactly...




Terrible, terrible news.

Unbelievably sad.

Agree, if we have a friendly against the O's then that would be the best time for a minutes silence.

If not then please have it on the first home game of the season rather than a meaningless warm up against a W** S*** Xl

[old leigh shrimper]

Very sad...always one of the first players i think of when i think back to our 'great' (in MY mind) teams.
Best wishes to all that new him.

So sad, and no age to pass on (same age as me). I also thought he was earning his managerial stripes before coming back home to us. Much love to his family at this horrible time. Sleep well Justin.

 

[thorpebayshrimper]

Greatly saddened by this terrible news. Justin played with some of the best. And, as a footballer and man, was one of the best. Thoughts with his family and friends, RIP JE.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

RIP Justin, condolences to the family and indeed his playing squad and the Orient fans who must be heartbroken too at this difficult time. Managers go through a lot of stress over the season, promotion maybe cost him his life, how sad.

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

RIP Justin. No age at all.

Condolences to his family - I always thought he'd end up back at the Hall but I hope he's now at peace.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

I remember a brief chat with Justin before our promotion-winning game at Peterborough in 1990.
He said he was nervous but delighted he had a chance to make it big with Blues.
Little did he probably realise he would be even bigger with Spurs. One of our greats; one of us, if you like, and sadly missed.
