Clapton Orient - when footballers were proper heroes
Here’s a video of Clapton Orient, the ancestors of Leyton Orient, playing the last match of the 1914/15 season.
At the end of the game (Clapton Orient 2-0 Leicester Fosse) there was a farewell parade, because 41 players and staff were heading off to join the Footballers Battalion. Three players died at the Somme.
