Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Always at every match, looking resplendent with his long beard, red and white top hat, red coat and rosette, walking cane etc, a real character known by sight to thousands of O's fans over the years, Jimmy passed away following a heart attack. Thoughts with those that knew and loved him the most.

Never met him but have seen him many times .

R.I.P to a fellow O

Ditto...RIP

Sorry to hear of this, you just couldn't miss him could ya, R.I.P Jimmy, wont be the same without you somehow

He is our version of
John Westwood (pompey John )

Very sad to hear. He seemed to follow the club everywhere.

RIP Mr. Goddard.

RIP, sir.

That's so sad. Always there, through thick & thin.

Rest in peace, Jimmy.

Lovely man , sat with him at a few away games R.I.P.

Have seen him at Brisbane Road at many home games
RIP Jimmy
So many sad deaths at the moment, just seems to be so much Bad News.

Really sad, I never knew him but looked a real character. RIP

Saw him in the Royal Cafe a few times, chatted to him once as well. Very sad, may he rest in peace.

RIP Jimmy - a truly great Orient fan. His eccentric appearance belied the fact that he was an astute and devoted supporter. I too enjoyed chatting with him at away games. What a lovely fella he was.

Very, very sad news.

Sad News (RIP)

He used to sit near to me and we’d sometimes compare beards jokingly - a sad loss and a really true Orient supporter

My thoughts are with his family

Ah, that's a shame. Had seen him around the ground. RIP and condolences to his friends and family.

RIP Jimmy.

Sad to hear always saw him at away games, a propa os fan. We will have to do something for him at the first game back. RIP Jimmy.

RIP, Jimmy. Always enjoy seeing characters like him at games.

Same here . R.I.P. Jimmy.

Sad news.

Never knew him or spoke to him but I can’t remember a home or away game that I didn’t see him at.

We referred to him as the Orient wizard due to his magnificent beard.

Condolences to his family.
