From the Publisher:
How Leyton Orient won promotion to the First Division in 1961-62 for the only time in their 125-year history and then went on to beat Manchester United, West Ham United and eventual champions Everton in the space of 10 glorious days in September 1963! Exclusive, new interviews and many previously unpublished pictures - the author has tracked down and interviewed the surviving members of those historic Leyton Orient teams between 1961-63. From skipper Stan Charlton, leading scorer Dave Dunmore, promotion hero Mal Graham, plus Ronnie Foster, Mal Lucas, Cyril Lea, Eddie Lewis, Dennis Sorrell, Joe Elwood, Sid Bishop, and Terry McDonald, etc, etc. They all have their own unique and fascinating stories to tell.
Lavishly illustrated, including photos from the players' own collections, author Tony McDonald - son of former O's winger Terry - has produced the definitive, no-nonsense story of the best ever Orient team.
A must for all O's fans, it's so much more than 'one season in the sun'...This must have book for any serious Orient fan also includes rare pictures from the players' own private collections, plus foreword by the Daily Mail's Jeff Powell.
