Leyton Orient F.C. (pronounced [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikipediaPA_for_English]/ˌleɪtən ˈɔːriənt/[/url]) are an English professional football club in East London. They currently play in Football League One and are known to their fans as the O's.
Leyton Orient have spent one season in the top flight of English football, in 1962–63. In 1974, they were Manchester United's first opposition in the latter's only post-war Second Division campaign. In 1978, Orient reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the only time in their history, under the management of Jimmy Bloomfield, but were beaten 3–0 by Arsenal. Between October 1993 and September 1995, Orient did not win a single away game in the league, leaving them bottom of Division Two in 1994–95.
Leyton Orient's home ground Brisbane Road is officially known as the Matchroom Stadium after club chairman Barry Hearn's sports promotion company. Hearn became chairman in 1995 after the club was put on sale for five pounds by then-chairman Tony Wood whose coffee-growing business in Rwanda had been destroyed in that country's civil war. The period of the club's near-closure was covered by the television documentary Orient: Club for a Fiver.[1]
Geraint Williams was appointed manager on 5 February 2009, taking over from Kevin Nugent who was in temporary charge after the sacking of Martin Ling on 18 January 2009.[2] Williams left the club on 3 April 2010 after the 3-1 home defeat to Hartlepool United. Nugent resumed temporary charge for one game, after which Russell Slade was appointed manager until the end of that season and has since had his contract extended.
Leyton Orient was originally formed by members of the Glyn Cricket Club in 1881, many of whom were former students of Homerton College. The team has had several name changes since, first as Eagle Cricket Club in 1886 then as Orient Football Club in 1888.
The O's are the second-oldest league club in London behind Fulham, and the oldest London club playing in the Football League following Fulham's promotion to the Premier League. They played in the 2nd Division of the Southern Federation's League in 1904, joined the Football League in 1905 and are the 24th oldest club currently playing in the Football League.
History books written on the club by its historian Neilson N Kaufman suggest that the choice of the name Orient came about at the behest of a player (Jack R Dearing) who was an employee of the Orient Shipping Company (later to be taken over by P&O). The club's name was changed again to Clapton Orient in 1898 to represent the area of London in which they played. However, some historians think the name Orient was simply chosen due to its oddity and has no connection to them being an East-End club.
The name Leyton Orient was adopted following the conclusion of the Second World War. The club had moved to Leyton in 1937. A further rename back to simply Orient took place in 1966 after the Borough of Leyton was absorbed into the London Borough of Waltham Forest. That renaming followed a financial crisis (one of several to hit the club, and by no means the first or last) and restructuring of the company behind the club; this is remembered for a "pass the bucket" collection that took place at a special meeting of supporters in the East Stand, when complete closure was claimed to be a definite possibility.
The club finally reverted to "Leyton Orient" in 1987, shortly after Tony Wood took over as chairman and at a time when a supporters' campaign was taking place in the Leyton Orientear fanzine to reinstate the Leyton part of the club's name. |

2010s
On 3 April 2010, Geraint Williams was sacked as manager after a 3-1 home defeat to fellow relegation strugglers Hartlepool United F.C. following a poor run of form. Kevin Nugent once again took control for the 2-1 defeat at Southampton F.C. on April 5 and after the match Russell Slade was named as manager until the end of the season. With even less time to save Orient from relegation than Williams before him, Slade managed to bring about a change in form that saw Orient finish in 17th place, just one point but four places clear of relegation. In the summer of 2010 Slade's contract was extended for two years. After a poor start to the 2010/11 season, Orient's league form picked up towards Christmas, culminating in an 8-2 win against non-league Droyslden in an FA Cup second round replay.[7] In a game described as "the weirdest football match ever",[8] Orient had trailed most of the game 2-0, but scored six goals in extra time to progress into the 3rd round. Orient then beat high-flying Championship side Norwich City 1-0 at Carrow Road to progress into the 4th round where they met another Championship side, Swansea City, at the Liberty Stadium. Orient beat Swansea 2-1 to set up a glamour 5th round tie against Premier League giants Arsenal at Brisbane Road.On 20th February 2011, they held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw and set up a replay at the Emirates stadium.
[edit] Club crest
Orient's crest is made up of two wyverns facing each other over a football. The wyvern symbol was introduced in 1976 and is believed to incorporate Orient's links with the City of London (the wyvern is the symbol of the Thames, it is believed to be the defender of the Thames) and with the sea, through the old Orient Shipping Company. The wyvern on the badge provided the inspiration for the club mascot Theo who got his name from a shortening of the club nickname, The O's. Theo first appeared in the 2000–01 season.
Previous club crests have included a version of the Borough of Leyton's coat of arms, and a single red dragon.
[edit] Rivals
Historic rivals included neighbours Leyton, and the now disbanded/merged clubs Leytonstone, and Walthamstow Avenue. The Leyton F.C. rivalry dissolved decades ago due to Leyton F.C. being of a lower status and not a full-time professional football club. The O's geographically-closest professional club rival is West Ham United. This local derby rarely takes place as the clubs have spent most of their history in different divisions. Orient's biggest rivals are Southend United after a period of being each other's closest league rivals, however this will not take place in a league meeting in the 2010/2011 season due to Southend United's relegation from League One. The other main local professional rivals are now Millwall who play in Bermondsey South East London and Tottenham Hotspur, although they only play the latter of late in occasional pre-season friendlies. Also another London team Brentford F.C. are one of Orient's rivals providing an East vs West London derby. Brighton & Hove Albion are a less-local rival, while fellow east London team Dagenham & Redbridge F.C. have provided opposition only in friendlies and occasional cup games, although they will face each other in the 2010-11 season in League One.
[edit] Stadium
For more details on this topic, see Brisbane Road.
Brisbane Road
Leyton Orient's initial ground was at Glyn Road between 1884 and 1896 when the club moved to Whittle's Athletic Ground and played there until 1900. The O's also played pre-season friendlies at Leyton Cricket Ground for several seasons. The O's left for Millfields Road soon after. A further ground change in 1930 to Lea Bridge Road occurred, but a complaint over perimeter fencing in 1930 meant that Orient were forced to play home games at another ground while urgent alterations took place. They chose to play the first at Wembley Stadium, and even though Lea Bridge was ready again, chose Highbury and Wembley once again; an attendance of only 2,500 at the final game ensured a move back to Lea Bridge. Finally, the club moved to their current Brisbane Road home in 1937.
Brisbane Road has undergone many changes since Orient's arrival. Previously known as Osborne Road and having been the home of Leyton F.C., it initially had only one stand (known as "the orange box") on the east side that held 475 people, and cover on the west side for standing. All of the standing was cinder banks. The East Stand (also known as the Main Stand) was bought from Mitcham Greyhound Stadium in 1956, and eventually extended to cover the whole east side. The terraced enclosures at the front of the East Stand were replaced by seating in the late 1990s. Over the decades, the west side became a covered terrace and finally a seated-stand, while uncovered terracing was built at the north and south sides. As the ground's capacity was being progressively reduced through changes to ground safety regulations, Orient looked to redevelop Brisbane Road as an all-seater stadium to secure its future there. |

Téhoué - Anything Can Happen
JONATHAN TÉHOUÉ slammed home an 89th minute leveller and then warned Arsenal that Orient's FA Cup challenge wasn't over yet.
The Frenchman snatched a sensational replay for the O's at the Emirates Stadium, bursting between Gunners defenders Kieran Gibbs and Ignasi Miquel before drilling under Manuel Almunia.
It was a goal of real class - Téhoué's ninth of the season - and he believes the east Londoners can cause an even bigger shock when they make the short trip to N5."This is the FA Cup. Anything can happen," he said. "We caused a surprise on Sunday and we'll try to do it again.
"When you step on the pitch, you never tell yourself 'today you're going to lose'.
"You always try to do your best to win the game, so even if it's Arsenal away from home, we'll go there to try to get through."
Téhoué has forged a reputation for himself this season as a super sub - all nine of his goals have come from the bench - and he was delighted to make such a stunning impact against the Gunners.
He continued: "When I went on the manager told me I could cause them problems, because they had a young boy [Miquel] at centre half.
"So he wanted me to cause them those problems and I think I did.
"When I scored the goal, I didn't really think about what I was going to do. I just saw that the two defenders were hesitating to attack me, so I went through and took my chance.
"It was a great moment, a great night for us - all the team and the whole club as well." |
