Email received this afternoon:
Good Afternoon,
I have been asked to relay a short message to your Fans Group, concerning a England fans Friendly against Kosovo Fans the day before the Euro 2020 Qualifier in September.
The Friendly will be held at Hounslow Football Club on 9th September 1945 k.o The Match has been made a Tribute to Justin Edinburgh, we are looking to get as many of his footballing clubs together, to help Celebrate his Passion through Football.
We have some celebrities turning up along with ex professionals and the Kosovan Ambassador along with some of Justin’s family, if at all possible would someone from Leyton Orient be available to represent your club ?
I look forward to hearing from anyone soon..
All the Best
Ian (Portsmouth Fc & England)

Re: Justin Edinburgh Memorial Cup
Seems a crying shame that us (or any former club) has not organised something.
Fair play to these lads for setting it up, but I feel without a football club backing it, it'll become a bit of a non-event which doesn't become well attended (either by fans or participants) and therefore raises not much money for the charity or his family. Not exactly in the greatest location either, which doesn't have any relevance to Justin.
Preference would be for Leyton Orient XI vs Spurs XI with a load of old team-mates from the past. Commemorative program full of funny stories about Justin and plans for his foundation.
I am still gutted that he is gone tbh, a really good event would do him justice.

Re: Justin Edinburgh Memorial Cup
Amazing that Kosovo fans had heard of Justin's plyt, even more so that they want to get involved in fund raising for his cause, I do hope we can get some of our people there.
