This one is an easy choice, Tommy Johnston wins hands down.

I will never forgive Griffiths for that off the ball punch at Mansfield that ruled him out of the playoffs

Yeah agreed. I know you can't predict what would have happened if he'd have played, but what I do know is that we would have had a better chance of winning with him in the team.

No doubt Tommy was a great striker, but for myself, the list of my favourite Orient strikers can only be made up of ones that I have actually seen play.

Not having seen him play, but my old man used to tell me about Dave Dunmore, nobody has yet mentioned him. Anyone got any comments about him?

One player miles ahead of all the rest Peter Kitchen.

Some notable others bot Kitchen was different class.

Has to be Peter Kitchen.

Carl Griffiths probably second. Only just remember Vic Hallom but good call from redintheface giving him a mention too.

And in what is best described as cameo role, Paul Shinners was superb when he was on fire.
