R.I.P Mickey Bullock
I know it's been posted on BD& M thread, but he really does deserve his own page of tributes.
Never the most skilful or quickest over the pitch but always gave his best

Re: R.I.P Mickey Bullock
Fond memories of Mickey
Who can forget the ‘Na na na na hey hey hey Mickey Bullock’
The goal in the fa cup Chelsea match
The ability to ‘hang’ in the air
RIP Mickey, an Orient legend.

Re: R.I.P Mickey Bullock
One of the best headers of a ball I have ever seen. Remember a game at Notts County (won 4-2) when he got on the end of a Ray Goddard high clearance in the centre circle, got his intended header all wrong and it ended back in Goddard hands 40 yards away without bouncing, best one two ever.
But he was a fantastic target man and for a not very tall forward he rarely got beaten in the air.
RIP Micky thanks for the memories.

Re: R.I.P Mickey Bullock
Yes - a sad day and probably one of the foundation blocks of the team I first came to support back in February 1973.

Re: R.I.P Mickey Bullock
Remember him well, one of the players in the first O’s team I was old enough to remember, a decent centre forward, scored 65 goals for us too.
R.I.P Mickey, thanks for the memories.

Re: R.I.P Mickey Bullock
A very early hero for me. When he jumped up for a header he seemed to stay up in the air for longer than other players.

Re: R.I.P Mickey Bullock
Yes exactly, it was a brilliant save by Cumbes. I was right behind the path of that header and he had no right to make that save, it was virtually clawed out of the top corner.

Re: R.I.P Mickey Bullock
We have lost too many of our legends this year and Mickey was up there with the best.
