Description
John Fashanu is the sort of person for whom one life was never going to be enough. When he confirmed on Friday that he had quit as chairman of Barry Town FC, just eight months after his arrival in south Wales, it at least allowed the mercurial jack of all trades time to go over his busy portfolio.
