Career

A defender, usually employed as a left-back, Edinburgh started his career as a trainee with Southend United, turning professional in August 1988. He moved to Tottenham Hotspur for £150,000 in January 1990, initially on loan so that he could stay at Southend for the remainder of their successful promotion challenge. He joined Spurs permanently in July 1990, making his debut for them on November 10, 1990, as a substitute in a 4-2 win at home to Wimbledon. He played for Spurs for most of the 1990s, winning an FA Cup winner's medal in 1991 and a League Cup winner's medal in 1999. This second medal was awarded to Edinburgh despite his being sent off in the final for raising his arms to Robbie Savage, as the post-match analysis showed that Savage had distinctly overreacted to a minimal contact and that the red card was unjustly awarded.

In total, he made 190 league appearances (and 23 as substitute) for Tottenham, scoring a solitary goal.

Edinburgh left London for Portsmouth in March 2000 for a fee of £175,000, playing 35 league games over the next two years before joining non-league Billericay Town as player-manager in July 2003. He had not played a single competitive game during Portsmouth's Division One title winning campaign (2002-03).

In January 2006 he left Billericay to become manager of semi-professional side Fisher Athletic. Fisher finished third in the Isthmian League Premier Division in season 2005-06 and beat Hampton & Richmond 3-0 in the play-off final to win promotion to Conference South.

Edinburgh left Fisher by mutual consent in November 2006 [ [http://www.nonleaguedaily.com/news/index.php?&newsmode=FULL&nid=38720 Edinburgh goes at Fisher] , nonleaguedaily.com] . He subsequently joined Grays Athletic as assistant manager to Andy King and took over as manager on January 4, 2007 after King's resignation. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/g/grays_athletic/6233725.stm Edinburgh replaces King at Grays] , BBC Sport] However, Edinburgh's first match in charge ended in disappointment as his team lost 3-1 to Southport.

In 2006, Edinburgh was a coach in the football reality TV show "Football Saved My Life", along with Neil Ruddock.

His reign as manager of Grays Athletic came to an end on February 20, 2008, when his contract was terminated by mutual consent. [ [http://www.graysathletic.co.uk/news/archives/002411.html Justin Leaves Grays Athletic] , graysathletic.co.uk] Leaving the club 14th in the Conference National.

Edinburgh later became a scout for Nottingham Forest for his friend and former Spurs colleague Colin Calderwood.

On April 9, 2008 it was announced that Edinburgh would become Colin Lippiatt's assistant at Woking following the departure of Frank Gray and Gerry Murphy. His contract was not renewed for the 2008–09 season.
