I can’t honestly remember the 1st game I went to I was about 4 I think used to go with my Grandad and Dad stand in the east though I used to run up and down a lot and always ask how long before it’s finished(been asking myself that question ever since)😂😂
Would of been early 70s
Fave Player hmm tricky one
But I think Matt Lockwood he seemed to have everything in his locker👍

Hi, to all fellow fans.
Born: Walthamstow 1954. First game: Not sure. I think it was Oxford United in 1967. Favourite player: Tough question. I always liked Vic Halom. Built like a brick out-house with a great shot and stonking header of the ball.

Born in Leyton (Chesterfield Road). You could hear the roar of the crowd from my back garden if we scored.
My dad took me to my first game, almost certain it was 71/72 season but can’t remember the score or the opponents ☹️
Favourite player - Laurie Cunningham. But other favourites include Glenn Roeder, John Jackson, Gerry Queen, Matt Lockwood, Steve Castle and Dean Cox.

I lived in Debden.My first game was in 1956.I have seen Leyton Orient in all four divisions,and now in the National League.My favourite years of supporting the O's was the seventies when we were called Orient. I wish we would drop the Leyton part of our name.After all,I have never ever heard anyone call us Leyton,always Orient.My favourite player was Micky Bullock.It has been difficult in recent years to grow attached to a player,they do not stay long enough.Good to be back posting on an O's forum.

I’ve not heard his name mentioned for decades and not sure why he sprung to my mind now.

No,I was only a small lad at the time.I have always held Orient's failures as a badge of honour when people take the mickey.That way they was always left dumb struck.My god,we have had some miserable times though.
