As a family, how did you all cope with the highs and lows of public opinion because of Justin being a high profile sportsman.

What is the silliest memory you have of your dad.
The thing you go to as the happiest make you smile
moment .
Whether it be just between you & Him
Or all 4 of you .

Loved the story Gary Linker told on his podcast about Justin's nickname at Spurs. He must have enjoyed his time there with Gazza etc, did he tell you any funny stories from that time?

What was Justins favorite moment in his career as a footballer and as a manager?

What was his main tactic as a coach?

Take care,

Charlie from Belgium

I understand, that Justin had a cardiac arrest in a gym and there wasnt a defibrillator on the premises, and part of the charity set up in Justin's name is to hopefully get defibrillators installed in gyms.
A few weeks ago I was in a small town and there was a defibrillator on the wall, in the high street. I thought however, I wouldn't have a clue how to use one or what to do, if it was needed. I reckon most people wouldn't know how to use one . Is Charlie aware of that, and there needs to be a high profile programme to educate people on how to use one and what to do in an emergency

Did your Dad have an underlying heart condition?

Good question, that. However, I've had some defib training through work and it turns out that the vast majority of modern machines 'talk' you through the process. I believe that applies to all of the ones that you see in public places. All you have to do is literally take it off the wall and press the button and it tells you exactly what to do and where to place the pads etc. It will then check that the patient actually is having a Cardiac Arrest before it will shock him/her. That part actually answered one of my own questions because I've always wondered what would happen if someone used one of the public ones on a perfectly healthy person. As it turns out, nothing at all! Please don't take that this wrong way, not trying to belittle what was a very sensible question. Just my experience from the training that I received. That said, people obviously need to know that they are more sophisticated than most people think so your point is still a good one.

Really good post. I'm shocked a gym doesn't have a defrib when we can't even host our parkrun without one being available

Apologies for going off topic
