Independent Leyton Orient Forum

A great edition of Orient Hour Extra as Dave Victor interviews Dean Cox. Deano speaks openly and at times emotionally about the highs and lows of his time with Orient.

What a great interview .For me ,Coxy is my all time favourite Orient player. He was a fantastic player for us and that's why I love the guy.

Cheers Thor

Excellent show.

Top man.

Thanks - well worth a listen.

A pleasure and privilege to listen to this
What a player and to show the dignity after the way he was treated
top man

A great listen from a true O's legend in over 50 years following
the O's gave me the best night ever with the goal and celebration
V Peterborough..

Also remember my son waiting post match near the dug outs for
Deano's to sign his match programme as the ground emptied and
the players came out for the warm down Deano invited my son on
the pitch for a kickabout with all the other players a great gesture
from a great person..

Enjoyed this and the Porter interview.

Would like to hear a few more from recent times like these.

Would be great if Dave could speak to Slade. Would also be interested to gear from the likes of Mooney and other more recent favourites.

One O's Legend in Dave Victor Interviewing another O's Legend Dean Cox, any O's fan would enjoy this.

Deans love for the club shines through, happy to hear he may be coaching the academy players when things return to normal.

There was a time when I turned out for the Red Star Northfield of Peckham in the North Kent League.

We played a team with nine guys called Dean in it. It was very confusing.

I have two questions.

Is Dean a popular name in that part of the world?

What an absolute legend Coxy is. His love for the O's shines through and an insight into his life around the time of the FB era which is very upsetting to hear. How he was treated was an absolute disgrace and massive respect to him for speaking out the facts when asked by FB. They way he had his contract terminated the day after deadline day was despicable and at the time was the pivotal moment, the final straw for me.

I'm sure if he hadn't of left at that point he would still be with us now and would have carried on playing for us, would absolutely love to see him back at the O's in some sort of capacity. At his peak he was a cut above our level and unlike most professional footballers these days didn't go searching for that move higher and just wanted to stay with the O's and it's things like that I will never forget, along with all the great memories Dean provided over the years.

Really want to hear a Russell Slade interview as well discussing those times, we've all heard much of the story but even with Dean's interview there are some new insights into the goings on at our club at that time. A really dark era for us and I'm still so bitter about how the heart of the club was ripped out in such a short space of time.

Great interview Andy, well done to Dave as well (not sure he's on here) for a wonderful 45 minutes of genuine insight.

Agree about getting Slade or Mooney on.

Boco might have some interesting things to say too.

Thanks for your comments. We are trying to get several 'names' on. Will advise as and when.

How about Sitton.

We had John on the Orient Hour and tbh I don't think he'd have anything fresh to add.

I would love to hear from Russell.

Best one yet.

Really good listen. Well done Andy and Dave Victor

Would love to have Dean Cox back at Orient in a coaching capacity at some point soon as his enthusiasm and love for the club is wonderful
