Never more proud to be an Os fan
The staff, players and management of Leyton Orient Football Club have handled this tragic event with so much dignity and respect - both in terms of social media and in person
I went down to the stadium today to sign book of condolence and pay my respects, and felt immensely proud to be part of this football family
The coming months and season are going to be extremely tough, but I feel certain we will pull together and get through it.
We will move on, but we won't ever forget

Re: Never more proud to be an Os fan
Indeed, as Jobi and Brill said no words can really do justice to JE but the moving tributes have done a damn fine job of trying. Just shows what an impact the man had on all associated with the club.

Re: Never more proud to be an Os fan
Agree with all of the above and just to add that its never hurt more than it does right now. I've been through the crap of seeing us traded for a fiver and being torn apart by the Italian, but this is far worse.
It just proves the value of a good life; of a good, decent man.

Re: Never more proud to be an Os fan
So many fans at wembley on a high after what he did last season and looking forward to what he could do next season. We never in a million years saw this coming. Just a very very sad time for all the orient family but together we are strong as we have shown before.

Re: Never more proud to be an Os fan
Echo that CF.
And I'd like to thank..if she's boarder or not..the lady who gave me a big hug in Leyton Technical last Sunday.
I didn't know I needed it until you gave it.I knew her face but not her name.
That's the joy of supporting Leyton Orient.
It will be tough but our spirit will see us through.
RIP Justin and love to you all...

Re: Never more proud to be an Os fan
What a great post from Fred.
On a general level, have been really moved by all the amazing tributes to Justin particularly from the players who clearly loved him. Every time I see one I get quite emotional when I think what his family & our club have lost.
I have also been very impressed by fans posting on social media. Sadly there was 1 exception - I posted on a thread on SUFTO basically saying it was way too early to discuss a replacement & that I trusted the club to handle things in the right way.
This individual objected to my use of the word " we" & was told that this related to the club, our club. I thought discussion over but he carried on which culminated in him calling me a disgrace after I said his conduct was disgraceful in the circumstances. Haven't responded to this but have reported him to Admin. I wouldn't normally do this but this is a really difficult time & many people are very upset at the tragic loss of Justin.
Regardless of this individual we will I believe pull together as fans & the club will do its best to develop the great legacy left by Justin.
