I immediately retract that statement upon learning about how central the role of Walsingham Motor Insurance Limited was in this enshrinement :roll:

Best decision since the man himself signed on the dotted line.

Fantastic gesture, well done to the club on that.

Hopefully some proper photos on the inside as well to commemorate the man.

Proper recognition for a proper legend. The naming is tinged with sadness though.

Good move by the club.

This would be a fitting "final" tribute. I'd like to see us look only forwards now, not back. I'm sure that's what JE would want.

I'm glad you retracted it but it should've been on grounds of the original post making you look a graceless, miserable ****

Great Gesture by the Club, a loss of sponsorship but Justin Edinburgh was far more important than money.
Well Done Leyton Orient.

I’ve just read this from Justin’s wife Kerri.

Kerri Edinburgh said of the tribute: 'It is with enormous pride and excitement that on Saturday we will be attending Leyton Orient v Newport County for the official unveiling of The Justin Edinburgh Stand.

'Over the past months we can't thank Leyton Orient enough for their continued support to us all. We'll be forever grateful for that and know why Justin loved this club and the people involved with it so much.

'One of Justin's and our family's most memorable moments of his managerial career was the promotion back to the Football League which was secured on the pitch in front of this stand which will now proudly be named after Justin.

'We'd like to thank Nigel, Kent, the Board of Directors and all the staff at Leyton Orient for making this possible and for always making us feel welcome and part of the Orient family; our family and friends for their continued support; and finally, football fans all over the UK, especially those Leyton Orient supporters and Newport County supporters with whom Justin had an incredible mutual bond and supported him and his teams so passionately.'

I'm also pretty sure that JE would not want to have seen the Club plunged back into the mire that he rescued it from.

Poundshop, can't you have anything positive to say about the club, you've become a tiresome bore.

Lets hope we can win today as well

That for me is what makes it a great decision.
That Justins Wife & Family have a huge place in there Heart for Leyton Orient.

Well done all involved

Will we be naming either the North Stand or the East Stand after Jimmy Bloomfield?
