Leytonstone FC and where they played.I remember watching from the railway station in the 70's.

I remember standing on that station in the sixties on a Saturday afternoon looking down on to the ground just before kick off waiting for a very late running train whilst they played the Beatles singing A Taste Of Honey. Happy memory.

Trying to think back when I was there.Only happened once.It was in the days when I used to visit my stepmums relatives in Tottenham Hale sometime around 1975.I was travelling back by train.I remember it was dark so it had to be winter.I got overcarried by the train as I wanted to get off at Leyton Midland Road.I couldn't operate the latch on the train so had to explain to the guard why I had gone one station too far.Changed platforms and watched the footee till the train took me back to Leyton Midland Road.I also did a paper round,round there.I worked for Hills Newsagents which is still there today.Right outside Leytonstone High Road station and used to deliver to the houses very near to the football ground and social club.I remember all the cigarette butts in the rubbish oh and empty lager cans.Yuck.

Would love Orient to produce classic silk scarves again

'Silk' scarves, from '74 to 76-77.

[KC & sunshine band]

You've missed out silk (and cardboard) rosettes.

Anything else nostalgia-related, basically pales into insignificance.

nope - top of the list

brilliant Photo
When you think that now we have six people and Julian aimlessly prodding forks into the pitch at half time
look at the size of the roller
Raymond would go to both penalty areas pulling that roller to the roar of the crowd
Absolute legend
