Nothing to add that hasn't been said on this thread all ready.

RIP Justin.

I can't believe this. Living in London now, I watch Orient probably the most out of any London team. He always seemed so fit and healthy for a middle aged guy, but I guess these sort of things can happen to anyone.

R.I.P. Justin

What to say?

My thoughts are with your family.

Truly awful news. Everyone in the football family are stunned.
Really feel so much sympathy for his family and friends.
At 2 years older and hardly the fittest specimen it sends shivers down my spine.

RIP Justin and even though it's pales in comparison hope Orient can somehow recover from this.

RIP to Justin Edinburgh. From the many reports he wasn't just a good player and manager, but a really great guy who meant a lot to many people.

Fitting that the last thing he did in the game was to lift a league championship. Thoughts with all at Orient for this tragic loss.

RIP

Terrible, terrible news.

He seemed to be one of those more relatable managers. A people person. One who would throw himself into the club and community.

Awful news, RIP.

This sort of death does make me think all this healthy living stuff pushed on us nowadays is a bit pointless tbh.

Great grandad fought in the war, worked in the mines, smoked and drank every day. Lived until he was 90, yet you hear so many super fit people dropping dead at young ages now.

Maybe it is just a case of when your time is up it's up, really shocking news.

I totally agree with this. When I was diagnosed with a brain tumour a few years ago, it wasn't my time and I'm back fit(ish) and healthy(ish) again.

I'm of the firm belief that everyone has an invisible date on their forehead and that's the date your time is up. Justin's death makes absolutely no sense at all.
