Yes, THE Barry Fry. I don't think he ever made a first team appearance.

For me it has to be Cureton. Scored goals by the barrowload everywhere else. I consider myself privileged to have witnessed him actually score for Orient.

Really believed that simmer that Beelzebub had learned his lesson with the Italian veteran signings and trusted the manager to go out and pick players that would work in the English game.

Alas it all went to sh*t in a bucket after that and the eventual ball-boy banning summed up how it all went so wrong so quickly."

We all remember things differently I guess, but I was gutted to see Kelly banned.

Worst I've seen, or at least the biggest let down from my expectations was...........Jamie Scowcroft

I know Jamie Cureton didn't score many, but.......Scowcroft ^.-
He wasn't a bad player at all but from potential promotion challengers making record signings to relegation fodder with Kelly ending up banned for the run-in just summed up that period of time perfectly.
