Talks about Orient:
" - I could not have done it without the support of my mother and the Leyton Orient coaching staff because they really prepped me for what was in store, how they trained throughout the Leyton Orient Academy days we had some fantastic coaches that really had an impact on my development and long term future as a player".
"- I think right at the beginning of my career when I played for Leyton Orient Steve Castle who was the captain at the time was a joy to play with and he gave me such great encouragement it was just outstanding".
"- Right from the beginning it was Jimmy Hallybone at Leyton Orient who scouted and developed me at the club as one of the coaches. Frank Clark brought me into the first team at a ridiculously young age when I was only 16 and I must also say during my time at Leyton Orient I had the wonderful opportunity to have John Gorman and Pat Holland as my coaches".

I watched Chris Bart-Williams nearly every week in the youth team and he was special. When making his debut for the first team i knew he would have a good career because of his attitude, talent and the fact that he had the coaching of John Gorman to guide him.

Never uinderestimate the influence of Jimmy Hallybone on players, so many came through him and I must say he was a top man and coach.
