John Fashanu (/ˈfæʃənuː/, born 18 September 1962) is an English television presenter and former professional footballer.
As a footballer he was a centre-forward from 1978 until 1995, most notably in an eight-year spell at Wimbledon in which he won the FA Cup in 1988 and scored over 100 goals in all competitions. He also played in the earlier years of the Premier League for both the Dons and Aston Villa. He also featured in the Football League for Norwich City, Lincoln City, Crystal Palace and Millwall, as well as a brief loan spell in New Zealand with Miramar Rangers. He was capped twice at senior level by England. He scored 134 league goals in a career lasting 17 years, retiring at the end of the 1994–95 season.
Following his football career, he moved into television presenting and went on to co-host British television show Gladiators in the 1990s, and between 2003 and 2004 he managed his own Sunday league football side Fash FC which featured on Bravo. He has also previously presented Deal or No Deal Nigeria and has notably appeared as a contestant on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here! and Dancing on Ice.
