Well, maybe not all - there have been a few shockers!😄👍 I absolutely hated useless Eustace . His style of play (or lack of it ) used to send fans to sleep ! |

So Slade has a win rate of 42.32%
Richie has 46.60%
Out in front the immortal Justin with 54.21% may his soul rest in peace.
No one else gets above 40% and some managed at a higher level, but a win is a win.

Some managed when a draw was a good result,then three points for a win was introduced and changed the game for the fans when a draw is almost considered a defeat.

One manager who should get a mention is Frank Clarke who performed miracles at the O's in eighties and got us promoted from the fourth tier.A really great servant to the club

FA Cup and Cup Winners Cup in 1970 and 1971. Can't think of any other Os manager who won a European trophy. |

Wellens, Petchey, Slade, Edinburgh & Bloomfield all achieved more than they should've. Special mentions for Stock, Ling and Embleton. Special mention for the school boy, what planet are you on |

Frank had a lot of critics (remember the Clark Out posters around the ground!) but he stuck to his guns and he built a side that was brilliant to watch. People tend to forget that he played in one of the great football sides and he took Forest back to the first division at the first attempt as Manager. We were lucky to have him. |

Clark out was often the cry as soon as the opposition got a corner.We was impatient with Frank to get us promoted despite the good football we played while he was manager.He got his promotion in the end both for the O's and himself with the "Forest job"as it came to be known.An amiable man as we are ever likely to have as a manager.

Frank also signed Alan Comfort who was way too good for Division Four. For that alone
he deserves a medal.
