Son of ex-Leyton Orient manager Justin Edinburgh condemns 'VILE and HURTFUL' chants by Colchester fans about his late father - insisting the 'small-minded individuals will never win at anything in life'

The son of Tottenham legend Justin Edinburgh has hit out at the group of Colchester fans who chanted 'vile and hurtful' songs about his late father during Leyton Orient's League Two clash on Saturday.

The former Orient boss tragically passed away aged 49 after a cardiac arrest in June 2019, a month after guiding the London-based club back into the Football League.

Orient's 2-2 draw with Colchester, which extended their lead to seven points at the summit of League Two, was marred by abusive chanting from a small selection of the away end.
