I am almost 100% certain that this poor man was an avid Leyton Orient fan. I knew him and his father years ago, but have not seen them for some time. Were often in the West Stand. I had a beer with them few times. Lovely family. He was a really nice friendly man. Was shocked to see this this evening. Does anybody recognise Darren in the article to confirm please?

Very sad for his family

Truly shocking as knew him and his father for years, with another Brother, all Orient dedicated fans.
First read in news but did not instantly recognise him. R.I.P Darren. Such a lovely natured man.

I hope all the family have all the comfort and support they need. Lovely close knit family.
