Southend Fan in peace. I was a kid when he played at Roots Hall for us. Sad news indeed, 49 is no age to die. RIP Justin.

Absolutely devastating news. 49 is no age at all, and after the fantastic job he did for you last season this is a massive loss to the footballing family. My condolences go out to his family and everybody at Orient. RIP Justin, from a Chester FC supporter 😰😭❤️!

As an Exeter City fan that attended your match at Wembley 3 weeks ago, I am stunned and deeply saddened to read tonight that the man that led you out at Wembley and guided you back into the football league has been so cruelly taken from you. RIP Justin Edinburgh. Lots of love from the entire Exeter City family x

RIP Justin Edinburgh. Lots of love from the entire Exeter City family x Thanks mate. I know you went through it when Adam Stansfield passed and he was just a kid. Brings people together albeit under the worst of circumstances.

Sincere condolences to Justin’s family, friends,Orient football club and their supporters on their tragic loss of a very special man. We at Newport County all share his untimely and far too early death that has left us all lost for words. When Justin joined us we were on our way to Conference South, but he had other ideas. He took us to Wembley for the first time in our history to an FA Trophy final against York City , which we lost 2-0. We were just happy to get there win or loose, but Justin promised us we would be better the next season. True to his word he took us back there’s the following season where we beat Wrexham 2-0 in the play off final to take us back into the football league after 25 years away. Our promotion side was made up of a few so called bad boys that no other clubs would take a chance on, nah that didn’t faze Justin he was all for giving everyone a second chance. They repaid him handsomely with promotion and we had a fantastic dressing room full of mates who would do anything for each other, not least for our leader, our gaffe the great Justin Edinburgh. RIP Justin you will be forever loved, remembered and the reason we are in the football league x
RIP

In August 1969, I was introduced to my first love Chelsea FC, aged six years old, by a neighbor along with his son and my best friend. I did not realize it at the time, but I had also been inducted to the Football Family. A few weeks later, my Granddad took me to watch Orient. It was his first love and something that he wished to share with me. It became the regular practice that the two of us would often watch the Os when Chelsea were away out of town. To this day, I have very fond memories. And feel privileged to have witnessed and followed so much over the years. Laurie Cunningham rests proudly in my top three non-Chelsea heros, along with George Best and Bobby Moore. Not bad company that.
12 years ago, I moved away from London/Essex to the North West. I still watch Chelsea as often as I can, but unfortunately see less of Orient. Maybe I call in to places like Wrexham, Salford and Tranmere when on their travels. Given the history and link to my Granddad, it broke my heart to watch the fall from the Football League and financial chaos that existed in recent years. I know there are many that have worked tirelessly to attempt to turn that all around. Included in this group was Justin Edinburgh. A good old fashioned pro who showed the passion and desire to provide the direction for others. As others have said, he helped to fix and rebuild a broken club.
I first watched Justin as a casual viewer at Southend. It was clear he would soon rise higher. I then watched him as an opponent at Tottenham as he reached towards his potential. I was also privileged as a casual part time follower of non-league football to then meet him face to face on a number of occasions at Grays and Billericay. There was no doubt about his passion, but there was also humility as I watched him take time with many fans in clubhouses after games. A consummate professional.
Unfortunately, we then faced the shock of events in the last week. To leave behind a wife and two children at the young age of 49 is heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the family at this difficult time. He also leaves behind the Orient on the cusp of a new birth into the Football League. A great success in itself, but unfortunately he will leave a huge gap that will be difficult to fill. I wish all at the club the best for the future and certainly in the coming months, which will be difficult for everyone. I have heard mention of renaming a stand in tribute to this fine young man. I know that in time the club and the fans will find a way to do the right thing.
For now, I remember a fine individual. It was a pleasure to watch him grow from a distance. It was a pleasure to meet and spend time with him. and it was a pleasure to watch the rebirth of a club that meant the world to my Granddad, who had been able to introduce me to and share his first love. Justin Edinburgh I tip my hat and salute you. May you rest in peace
