Its been nearly 50 years of watching & reading about everything Orient & to be fair to myself
the only 2 obvious choices are McAussie & the pearl .

The other 9 could of been filled twice over, hopefully the subs feel just as privelaged even
Though our U-21 N.I international became the 1st for us .

I feel a fair spattering of all decades from 1881 -2020/21 are represented
As is the 1 for the future marked out in my special selection
as 1st replacement substitute ( not listed) .


Well we are talking post covid arent we
Unusual times indeed !

Almost certainly not the best but my favourite is the 1988/89 promotion side. As a scouser who moved into student digs by Leyton station, whose first game was a 2-2 draw against non-league Enfield (we went out the following week at their gaff) I probably wouldn't be supporting them today if it wasn't for the roller-coaster ride that was March 1989 onwards.
