Former England international John Fashanu has admitted to paying his brother Justin £75k not to publicly announce being gay before he committed suicide in 1998.
In an interview with Good Morning Britain, via the Telegraph, the ex-Wimbledon star spoke of his shame in attempting to convince his sibling to cover up his homosexuality. Fashanu said: "It was a lack of education. I make it very clear, I was a monster to Justin then. I paid him £75,000 not to say that he was gay.
"I was looking at the situation around us and my mother had cancer and was dying, and the rest of the family couldn’t understand the situation.
