Just seen this on the O's Twitter page and thought it worthwhile positing it up here.

It's interesting that I was born that season with Barrie Fairbrother scoring at the time of my birth. Weird that i go on to follow the O's, saying I'm not sure i had a choice as my family go back to the 1920's supporting our club.

Great team that 69/70 team. Probably better than the 2013/2014 team that got beat in the playoff final
I remember that season so well. They got 62 points which is equivalent to 93 points today..pretty good that.
Great memories

Such wonderful memories.

There was some very good players in that squad, I wouldn't mind some of them playing for us today if they were young enough. Mancini, Taylor, Rofe, Allen, Dyson, Lazarus, Brabrook, Bullock and Fairbrother would be the nucleus of a good team.

Remember it well.that's 2 championship teams I have seen.
