Not your usual supporters badge, I have two of these one which predates 1946 when Leyton Orient was then known as Clapton Orient and it's logo just states Orient FC. I can't remember when I aquired this particular pin but I am sure I had it in 1981 when Leyton Orient was then near to promotion to the then Division 1. In that year they sold one of their best forwards "John Chiedozie" a Nigerian international which I always thought was a big mistake. Since then they made a slow decline through the divisions hitting a low in the National League 2017/18 season.
I think they should be renamed "80 Minute Orient" as more than half of their losses always occur in the last 10 minutes of a game.
