    I remember being quite shocked when, at my first Charlton game, my dad shouted, 'F*ck off back to Millwall, Brisley!'

    Can't believe @ricky_otto never got this one :wink: .
    To be honest I never really considered myself as a footballer, and can't actually recall if I played for Orient or not. I preferred my time when I was an armed blagger.

    Jimmy Seed

    Top answer, managed them when they were Clapton Orient before taking us to stardom.
    Currently reading The Jimmy Seed Story and was surprised to find out that Arsenal had tried to use Orient as a nursery club at that time. The FA soon banned it)
    I know Arsenal used Gravesend & Northfleet as a nursery club .
    Margate too.

    Why would Margate use Gravesend as a feeder club???

    Random and fairly vague memory of me, Richard Birch and possibly Steve Dixon going to Orient v Cambridge when Charlton were snowed off somewhere. Orient always seemed to get a game on, whatever the weather and this one was played with a full snow covering and an orange ball. Chris Jones scored for O's and they won 3-1.

    I might of course, be imagining all that because at the time I was drinking a lot of bitter (never lager) on an empty stomach and staying out well beyond my bedtime.

    How about the full back who went to jail?

    I played Left mid mate, never at full back.

    The player who Jimmy Seed described as his worst ever buy went to Leyton Orient .
    Any guesses ?

    He was Tommy Brown who was a good player but didn't suit Seeds style of play. Cost a lot of money.
    I was in the same school team as his son and saw my first Addicks game with him in 1950 .

    Can I nominate myself? I was taken to watch Orient as a kid by my Os supporting family but then bucked the trend at school by becoming a Charlton fan. Who I have followed ever since. Still look out for Orient though.

    Tricky Ricky! What a player he was for Orient. Was so excited when we got him from either Southend or Birmingham but don't recall him being a hit for us. Was mega poor at that time though so didn't get to many games.

    Got my wires crossed a bit there, a fraud by the name of J Rogers turned out in one game for Seed;

    Home & Away With Charlton Athletic 1920-2004 by Colin Cameron.
    2 October 1943 Charlton Athletic 0 (0) Chelsea 1 (0) (Fagan)

    Apology: ......"The man who came to the rescue was a certain J Rogers, who posed as a well-known player. However the crowd soon realised he was was a fraud and barracked him for the whole of the match. ......Seed wrote: 'I feel that it is somewhat necessary for me to attempt some sort of apology for introducing the outside right, Rogers, in our last home game. this player was introduced to the club as the old Arsenal-Newcastle United-Chester player. Being short of players we were forced to play this man with unfortunate consequences.'..."

    Indeed it was Tommy Brown, signed for a record £8500 at the time from Millwall in 1948 and was allowed to go on a free to Orient in 1950. Reference; The Jimmy Seed Story page 41 .

    I see Tommy Taylor the old centre half playing for Oriënt and being a coach down at Charlton.
    Could be wrong with this but can not get the picture out of my head.

    I thought there was a connection as well but haven't been able to link him thus far, somebody hopefully will though to put our minds at rest.

    Edit; here you go @Lewis Coaches taken from Wiki (quiz masters prerogative) :wink:
    Taylor joined Charlton Athletic as youth coach. He moved into football management in New Zealand for three years, then joined Maidstone United as a coach in 1989.

    Both teams shared a common shirt colour in red though in the new spirit of listening to fans wishes I hear charlton are now going to play in black and white...

    Very good, caretaker manager after Theo for one month before Andy Nelson took the reins.

    Indeed.

    I believe he was also chief scout for some time prior to that.

    I remember him being registered as a player as well. He appears in one of the team photos as a player rather than coach.

    He never made a first team appearance for us

    Also Benny Fenton managed Orient before he went to Millwall.

    Did the Godfather of Welling United Syd Hobbins play for Orient?

    Hobbins apparently played 11 times for the Os 49/50 season, having been transferred from Millwall and then went on to be chief scout.
