Justin Chappell: The Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold…

In the streets of Dukinfield, a Manchester City legend has passed, leaving fans and friends toasting his life with tales of a true Blue. Justin Chappell, just 28, strummed the heartstrings of the City fanbase since he burst onto the scene as a ‘miracle baby’ featured in the Manchester Evening News due to his early arrival at 24 weeks!

Living with Asperger’s Syndrome and handling epilepsy like a pro, Justin’s unexpected exit happened after a fierce battle with a seizure. The paramedics and fire crews tried their best but, sadly, couldn’t keep this legendary fan from joining the heavenly supporters’ section.

Justin’s family, helmed by his sister Vanessa, have nothing but sweet words for this gentle giant who turned handshakes into friendships at City games, both at home and overseas. With a GoFundMe page acting as the supporter’s rallying call for his farewell, they’re gearing up to ensure Justin gets a send-off fit for the legend he was. Everyone who crossed paths with him felt his unmatched warmth, humor, and an overflowing bucket of kindness. Indeed, there will never be anyone quite like Justin Chappell – an irreplaceable legend who left a sky-blue mark on the world.
