Was Vic Halom a record signing at the time ? I seem to remember it vaguely 🤔 I think he was a “ free” from Charlton tbh Ron. He left us for £35k to go to Fulham. So again, canny bit of business.👍 According to my Bible.....The men who made Leyton Orient football club, 2002 written by Neilson N Kaufman to quote ''Leyton Orient paid only £3000 for him in October 1967 from Charlton Athletic. He was sold to Fulham for £35,000 in October 1968'' According to this book apparently Brian Clough was interested in signing him by putting a bid in for £50,000 but he contacted the Os too late when the deal with Fulham had already been done.
Brilliant book to buy and it gives a detailed record of every Orient player from 1904 to 2002 !! You can get it online from around £13 upwards sellers include Amazon and eBay.

👍- As I said den, a canny bit of business by the club. I think it was Bloomfield who sold Halom on in this instance.👍 |

Same goes for many really good players the Os flogged off, first one being Gordon Bolland, also Lucas and Lea. Also upset when they sold off Harry Gregory, a player I had followed since seeing him play in the reserves. |

If Vic signed in 1967 then it was Dick Graham signing him.
