Summary

Host Ricky Sacks was joined by John from Lilywhite Rose and special guest to this week's podcast Charlie Edinburgh to celebrate the life of his Dad, Justin Edinburgh. Justin Edinburgh made 276 appearances for Spurs and won the 1991 FA Cup and 1999 League Cup during his playing days at White Hart Lane and became a decorated legend of the football club. Just weeks after leading Leyton Orient out at Wembley in the FA Trophy final and after guiding them to the National League title, he tragically passed away. This podcast is a celebration of Justin's life told through his son Charlie and the amazing work now starting to be put in place through The Justin Edinburgh 3 Foundation, which is raising awareness around CPR & use of Defibrillators.
