Brings back lot of memories for me, never missed games in them days even though I was in Uni at Newcastle On Tyne,...but missed that replay when my car broke down on the A1. I had a big mate who was a big O's fan, I used to go to Brisbane Road with him when at college in London for two years (they were very friendly club and had Laurie Cunningham then and good side). He came up to ML when we deserved to win (silly mistake for their equaliser by JD I think),  and I rung him on the college payphone that night after I got towed back to Newcastle and he rubbed my nose in it,... the ba.tard, never forgave him,...oh to have Jeff Johnson and Barry Howard now... ::)


Orient sold Laurie Cunningham to West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £110,000 in March 1977.

As an additional part of this transfer deal, WBA's striker Joe Mayo moved to Orient.

Mayo duly went on to score Orient's opening goal versus the Robins in that FA Cup Third Round Replay back in January 1980.

That sounds right, I was in "that London" in around 1975/6, and he teamed up with Cyril Regis in that superb WBA team that if I recall beat Man U 5-3  at OT in about 1979 ish. I dont recall Mayo playing at ML in the first match :-\
