Justin Fashanu: Gay footballer's 1980 Norwich City goal remembered

Norwich City fans have commemorated a 40-year-old goal by the first openly gay professional footballer - a stunning strike against league champions Liverpool.

In February 1980, Justin Fashanu wowed Carrow Road with a left-footed screamer which became BBC Match of the Day's Goal of the Season.

This Saturday, the club and LGBT+ fans celebrated Fashanu's flair and courage as the Canaries met the runaway league-leaders.

Fashanu, who came out in 1990, took his own life eight years later.
