As well as watching him for us in the 90s he also took my other love (Newport County) to Wembley twice and back into the Football League after 25 years in non league.
Met him in a pub in Newport once...proper nice guy.
Gutted.

Feel so shocked by this. To look at him he seemed a relatively fit guy. It really does just highlight how fragile life truly is.

It’s especially sad to hear that he had a wife and kids, who he leaves behind. I know they won’t see this but they should know that the collective world of football is thinking of them.

RIP Justin. My first great memory of Spurs was you and the boys winning the FA Cup. That memory, which you helped make, will stay with me and many other Spurs fans forever.

Went to watch County back when he was manager (must have been around 2011), they lost that one actually lol but met him in the Lounge after the game and like you said he was a proper nice guy despite the result. Did a great job at County & everywhere else he’s managed. RIP.

Awful and terribly sad news.

No age. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

He was far from being a favourite of mine. For me the Austin/Edinburgh pairing at the back was part of the dreaded 90s and it’s associates memories. My avatar and other pics of the last day at the Lane with Poch, Hoddle and Jennings don’t tell you the tale of how I bumped in Edinburgh at the Lane gates and remained unimpressed while he chatted to fans and took pictures with them. He showed up for them. I didn’t stop for a pic. If not for Paolo Tramazzani I think he’d probably get into most Spurs fans teams of worst players. But it seems like there’s a lot of love. And thinking about it probably for the first time ever I can see why.

We hated a decade, but he showed up and put a shift in every week at a club that had bigger problems than who was playing left back. I only ever had his back for the Savage thing. But memory probably hated Savage more for it. The love Edinburgh must have had for Nielsen. Most decorated Spurs player in 35 years. A sad reflection on our trophy drought, but there he is again. Showing up. Didn’t he coach our under 9s at some point? Showing up. One of the last opposition managers at the Lane for Gillingham in the Cup? The fanzone last week, he showed up. I had already left.

He pulled on our shirt many times, clearly with obvious pride and he did get slagged for it. Like Richards, Bunjevevic, Fulop... Rest in peace to them all. And more importantly, respect to them all. They lived our dream, but also lived a day to day existence with wives, kids and all that encompasses. What a remarkable life, and such a desperately sad loss.

RIP Justin.

One time Arsenal fan - who learned and turned. He did his stuff for us and I'll always be thankful. RIP.

He may not be a fan favourite but he gave his all for us and wore our shirt with pride. For that he will always have my respect. RIP Justin.
