Colchester condemn fans’ ‘vile chants’ about Justin Edinburgh at Leyton Orient

• Manager died following a cardiac arrest in 2019
• Club and supporters’ group condemn visitors’ songs

Colchester United have condemned a section of their support for singing about the death of the former Leyton Orient manager Justin Edinburgh during their League Two match on Saturday.

Edinburgh, the former Tottenham, Southend and Portsmouth full-back, led Orient to the National League title four years ago shortly before dying from a cardiac arrest in June 2019, and has a stand named in his honour at Brisbane Road.
