I've been supporting O's since 1974 so there have been a few.Best game for me was peterborough at home in the playoffs best atmosphere at a home game too.The worst for me was being 6-0 down at half time away at Fulham in the seventies in the Fulham team that day were George Best and Bobby Moore if memory is correct

Not been supporting since 1974 but since 2001 and there has been a few!
The worst games for me: the 6-1 thrashing at Bromley is right up there. The 0-0 draw away at Dover in 18/19 also stands out because of how DULL it was but the worst has to be the defeat at Solihull Moors on 2nd December in the 17/18 season...Justin's first game. Still the worst I have seen us play and that is saying something!!

The best has to be knocking Chelsea out of the FA Cup at Brisbane Road in 1972. I can't think of a bigger scalp than that. The worst is losing to Maldon & Tiptree.

Everytime I think of a particularly bad game an even worse one comes to mind. Seen my fair share of stinkers since my first match in 1966.
The 3-2 against Chelsea is still the best win I have witnessed.

Hard to believe that dropping into National League South was a real possibility before Justin Edinburgh arrived. |

But we won the second half 1-0 so not all bad. |

Hard to believe that dropping into National League South was a real possibility before Justin Edinburgh arrived. Went through a spell in the early 80's when we had a run of heavy home defeats. Seem to recall something like 1-5 against Newport as a low point. Another shocker was losing at home to Hendon in the cup or a 0-5 at Southend on a Friday night. As I said the list goes on, 1-6 at Burnley wasn't that much fun either. |

Bad enough just getting the bus back to Walthamstow. |

Bromley away 6-1 defeat still makes me shudder Everything Bromley hit went in..Despite this result,I still the worse performance that season was Torquay away…0-3 but could have been much worse. |

Orient 4 Hull 5. Still seething. That was surreal.Despite going 4-1 up in the 60 odd minute,Hull were by far the better team.When it went to 4-2 a few were saying we’d be lucky to get a draw…Billy Whitehurst terrorised us. |

I do remember Silkman having his mucky hands all over that transfer. |
