Goalkeeper (#36) (2003-04)

 

Goalkeeper who, in the 2002-03 season, was said to be amongst Harchester's Under 19's team of stars, with Charlie Taylor, Mark Dutzmore and Jon Whiteman all receiving call-ups to the first the following season. Justin gets his chance months into that season, when Harchester are on a patch of bad-keeper luck with two former youth team goalies Tommy Moore and Alex Lawler both out injured. The situation requires an older, experienced keeper, and when new chairwoman Donna Connelly tries to gain authority with the team and announces they will be bringing in notorious Viv Wright, Justin has his first of two memorable moments when he slams his drink down and storms off.

 

The second, when Stuart Naysmith is put up to Pilar Hernandez's plan of liquidating the club so Sheik Al Shaziz will invest, and sets about dropping his best players, notably Viv. Justin is in goal against Leicester, where Harchester lose 2-0 meaning the club drops below sixth place. Although Justin returns to the club when it is re-instated, he leaves on a transfer to Mansfield Town that summer.
