Black History Month- Best Orient XI

[Long slender neck]

I think this will be interesting to do and we could come up with a very strong XI. I will make a thread for each position for nominations and then open a poll, the most voted for players will then be put into an XI. :lofc

VOTE ON THE RELEVANT THREAD, NOT THIS ONE

During Black History month will you be featuring the racism that many of our Black players experienced in their careers. And more importantly how it can be eliminated.

I read an article about Laurie Cunningham the other day and the racism he and his colleagues suffered was shocking and I'm ashamed to say I witnessed it first hand when Laurie, Regis, Batson played at Motherwell in the Joe Wark Testimonial in 1978.

It's not quite at the same level today as it was back then but it's getting there and initiatives like taking the knee obviously help raise awareness but the FA, clubs, fans and message boards need to do a lot more.

Didnt expect Campbell to be in there, but never saw him play

[StillSpike]

Massively influential - his loan made such a difference to that team. It was a great time to be an O and he played a big part.

In the immortal words of the song, "you'd think he'd come to teach his trade, rather than learn it"

Agreed. Campbell was outstanding during his brief spell at Orient.

I went for 9 of that 11

For me, Kenny Achampong over CBW and Amara Simba to play alongside K Lisbie
Didn't go with the great K Campbell because he was a 3 month loan.
