Any Celebs who actually go down the O's?

Post by BoniO »

Just saw a bit of Sunday Brunch where old rubber face, Daniel (call me Danny) Mayes was commenting on a piece they were doing on pies "they won't be as good as the pies down Leyton Orient" says Daniel.

Now, that makes me wonder 2 things. Has anyone actually seen him at Brisbane Rd and, if so, is he a regular? Secondly, has he ever ate a pie at the O's - they're pretty ordinary is probably the best thing I could say about them - are they Pukka's - been a while since I had one.

Any other sightings of these mythical beasts, aka, celebs?

Sure I've seen him once, as far as I know he does actually go sometimes.

A mate of mine says he saw some kind of coin expert who appears on Antiques Roadshow at the Lincoln match last week.
A good few years back I sat alongside Bob Milks in the West Stand when we played Leeds at home (drew 1-1)

Also saw Daniel Mayes at Wembley when we lost to Rotherham in playoff final

Surely our most famous celebrity is also our bestish fan who was on an episode of Golden Balls.

Based on his Bluesky tweets. The political writer Peter Geoghan appears to have adopted Orient.

I was sat a few seats away from dan at the city game in the east stand. Have seen him post pics from the odd game on his socials too I'm sure.

Daniel and his family - brother Paul,mum, dad and dog - are long standing fans from way back.

Have seen both bob mills (amazingly fat ) and JLW (amazingly scruffy) on many occasssiions, although not for a few years.

Arsenal fan and Lord Stephen Fry sidekick Alan Davies used to regularly watch games from the SS a few years back, no idea why.

I have seen both Julian Lloyd-Webber and Bob Mills at matches this season, though Bob Mills was just the once.

Are ex-footballers (usually old) called "Celebs" as there are usually a handful in the Gallery at Tuesday matches scouting for some team or other - and not always ex-O's players or managers.

Thinking about ex players who are regulars. I can think of 3 Peter Kitchen Terry Howard and Terry McDonald and of course until recently Joe Elwoood who died last year.
Jabo Joe Widdowson and Glen Wilkie are here for the stream coverage.

Andrew Lloyd Webber was in front of me in the burger bar queue at half time at Oxford - when we got promoted under Ling.
Alan Davies sat next to me in the JE Stand a few years ago, and Shaun Wallace in front of me. They're both Arsenal supporters though.

I haven’t seen Julian Lloyd Webber for a year or two. Used to see him in the gallery, but not for ages now.
I did share the lift in the West stand before last season’s home game with Bristol Rovers with Julian’s brother Andrew……….Now, his money would be useful as an ‘investor’.
Mark Wright of TOWIE fame also was a regular in the Gallery when brother Josh was playing for us.

Matter of opinion really,
I’m not a fan but he’s not doing bad in a £3.5 million house

What about Alex the KC who’s a regular in the Supporters Club? Not a celeb as such but he’s a very high ranking KC and a Very Decent Chap so that’s fine by me

Based on the size of him last time I saw him, I’m going to take at guess at eating.
