R.I.P. Phil.
One of our greats.

Very sad. RIP Phil.

Remember him with fondness, just goes to show how precious life is,and worrying about a new or retained manager is so pointless

Another bloody good bloke gone. Always had time for the supporters and a very good versatile player. RIP Phil, fond memories.

Very sad to hear this news

R.I.P Phil

R.I. P Phil a great player for the club, remember him well.

Glad he got his own thread because Phil was a giant in defence for the Os during the most successful spell in our history.
Spoke to Phil at the unveiling of Laurie Cunninghams sratue in 2019. He was such a lovely man

R.I.PPhil Hoadley, Hard as nails.

Sad news. Strong, dependable. Will always remember his goal against Chelsea in 1972. R.I.P. Phil.

RIP Phil
Condolences to all his friends and family.
Was standing right behind Phil when he took that shot against Chelsea, what a goal that started our fight back!

I remember Phil so well, was my favourite player of that era. He signed for Norwich from us, was a good player for them too - last I had heard he was still living up here in Norfolk.
R.I.P Phil, thanks for all the memories.

That goal will live in my memory forever and I'm sure he'd turned with his hands in the air before it had hit the back of the net.

A great servant of this club and a damn good footballer.

RIP Phil - but at only 72, far too young.

Good player and a man who always had time to chat to Orient fans.
RIP Phil.

Very sad news.

He must have been a really good player. Bought for £30 000 and sold for £110 000 after 295 games.

RIP Philip
