Re: Peter Allen
I find this very strange.
Why has the passing of Peter Allen received only 24 posts Yet the thread on Southend United has received over 30 posts. To me it hard to believe.

Re: Peter Allen
The club should consider naming one of the stands or something else after Peter Allen it would be a fine gesture to remember one of the clubs finest players. I'm sure the fans would support this

Re: Peter Allen
It is what it is on here, quite a few on here have no interest in the club, for them it’s a place to post on when they’re bored hence why there’s vey few threads about the club. They promote their own agendas…….wait for it ……

Re: Peter Allen
Agree with you 100%. You must be a long time orient supporter knowing Brian Whitehouse +10 others. I think it was John Smith who said that to willy Graham if I'm not mistaken. He didn't play much after that or at all.

Re: Peter Allen
You’re spot on there, he was first player on the team sheet to the annoyance of us fans, he came from Palace like Graham did. My first game was Ipswich home 1962 we lost as well 2-1bethnalgreenboy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 12:42 pm Agree with you 100%.

Re: Peter Allen
My first game was a christmas morning I think it was 1957 .We beat Rotherham 6-0 Tommy Johnston scored 4 .I can remember there was snow on the ground
I got hooked ever since although I don't go anymore.
The best team in my opinion was the 1973/74 team which.failed to go up. The orient player I have seen was Laurie Cunningham.

Re: Peter Allen
Saw every home game that season remember seeing off Palace 3-0 at Christmas, last game v Villa was worst I’ve ever felt, including Rotherham 2014. Spent night in the Lion &Key drowning my sorrows.bethnalgreenboy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 4:39 pm My first game was a christmas morning I think it was 1957 .We beat Rotherham 6-0 Tommy Johnston scored 4 .I can remember there was snow on the ground

Re: Peter Allen
Up until Christmas we were fantastic, lost our way in the new year, won only two of 15 games. Still think the three FA Cup games against Portsmouth didn't help. As you say the Villa game was far, far worse than the 2014 play off final. I cried all the way home to Chingford.B.whitehouse+10more wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 8:33 pmSaw every home game that season remember seeing off Palace 3-0 at Christmas, last game v Villa was worst I’ve ever felt, including Rotherham 2014.

Re: Peter Allen
Peter was immense that season. As mentioned the three cup matches against Portsmouth didn't help.We needed to sign another forward as Bullock Queen and Fairbrother went off the boil after christmas and scored very few goals between them

Re: Peter Allen
The football played before christmas was fantastic and still lingers in my memory probably the best I have ever seen in all my years watching orient. Its fitting that Peter Allen was a big part of that team

Re: Peter Allen
Remember it well, my schooldays, we were a really good team, well led by Peter Allen.
Know he got injured at one point – memory may be playing tricks but possibly in the away game at Ashton Gate (think we won it), but we really missed him the next few weeks, and it cost us points and probably ultimately promotion, for we were that close of course.
What a team that was though, and as said above fitting that Peter was such an integral part of it!

Re: Peter Allen
The Pompey trilogy was 3 games in 4 or 5 days, No wonder Bullock &Queen had nothing left in there legs in the 2nd replay .banqo wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 9:36 pmUp until Christmas we were fantastic, lost our way in the new year, won only two of 15 games.
