..... Mark Lazarus scores Orient's winner at home to Shrewsbury to give them the Third Division championship.
Happy days!!!

Remember running pitch at last game against Gillingham and then running off as ref had blown whistle for something other than end of game

My brother got married and I missed this game,probably the only home game I missed that season.

Ha, ha. The first game I went to was Man City on May 7th 1966, I was eight years old. But thanks for the compliment AW!

Oh sh*t didn't know I was that old, frightening.

seems like yesterday
The previous Monday we were losing 0-2 to Southport but came back to win 3-2 bullock 2 and lazarus, the noise from the 14000 crowd was unbelievable - start believing
Shrewsbury at home - boom - champions
Picked up the trophy against Gillingham on the Monday night - best forget that one it just did not matter !
Bring on Division 2 with the Leicester, Blackburns, Sheff Utd, QPR, bloody brilliant !!
