3-2 v Chelsea probably the best. Honorable mention to both the 8-0s

As well as the usual ones, Chelsea, Peterborough etc there are a couple of others that spring to mind

Boxing Day 2013 away at Gillingham where We scored an injury time winner.


Harrogate away last season. Not only a great result but there was no segregation and myself and my son stood with and chatted to home fans. Football how it should be

10 November 1984 - Orient v Hull.

Sometimes addicts need to endure a truly horrific, excruciatingly painful trauma to begin the healing process.

30/01/73 Chelsea FA Cup 3-2
22/10/72 Bolton Home 3-0
02/11/13 Peterborough Away 3-1
The latter two, the best 90 minute performances, I have seen from the O's

Bury 1962 to win promotion to Div 1. Score 2 nil. Always remember their manager Bob Stokoe slagging us off before the match. Fantastic atmosphere . Promoted with Liverpool.

The 3-2 cup win over Chelski gets my vote too

Good shout, I was there, probably the most iconic result in our history, in terms of the reward.

Indeed.
I recall their name was Teacher? I heard that he passed away several years later?

Bill Measure, sadly he died about 18 months later: https://www.leytonorient.com/2015/11/08 ... l-measure/

His wife Maureen is still around, hopefully: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=212&start=75#p4405

The usual ones have been mentioned, but I'd like to add the Oldham FA Cup replay win in January '92. Cracking 4-2 win knocking out a top flight team, and highlights on Sportsnight later that night.
