Who Are... Leyton Orient FC?
Leyton Orient are not uncommon in that the East London club has its roots based in a cricket club looking for something to occupy the players during the winter months. Several name changes were involved in the club's infancy, before Clapton Orient was adopted to represent the club's locality - indeed it wasn't until after the Second World War that the move to Leyton prompted the change to what we now come to call the club.

However, there was a spell between the mid-60s and mid-80s in which the Leyton moniker was dropped altogether and the club was to be known as Orient FC (for the second time in their history). However, that proved unpopular with fans loyal to the locality and normal service was resumed.
Each club guide includes:

Ground: The vital lowdown on all you need to know about a club's home ground.

History: A brief glimpse at the history of the club in question, including major honours.

Travel: If you're in doubt about how to get to a particular stadium, this section'll tell you.

Weekender: A guide to the locality if you're planning to make a weekend of it.
