59/60 when we beat Middlesborough 5-0
71/72 beat Chelsea 3-2
Saturday was a great and memorable performance, particularly because we were playing against the Prem Champs and only lost by the odd goal, one of which was a significant deflection. My own fullest euphoria goes to the matches mentioned above.

Up near the top, but when one has supported the Os for 55 seasons, there have been others.
I can’t think of any in the past 40 odd years.
Name them.
Millwall 2-1 home 1955/56 to gain promotion from Division 3 south Hartburn & Johnson

I am only speaking from 20 odd years watching the Os - but yes I would say - given the quality of the opposition - that is the best performance I have seen from an Orient team. In the first half - we took the game to them in the first 10 minutes, and THAT goal - but then I actually thought the overall performance in the 2nd half was in many ways actually superior.
