We’ve got an exclusive extract from a new book on Leyton Orient for you to enjoy today, written by Gareth Platt.
Ever-growing disillusionment with the Premier League and modern football saw Gareth take up the offer of a ‘season ticket holiday’ from his beloved Arsenal and instead try to go to every single Leyton Orient league match in the 2021-22 season.
This book details his season-long adventure around the far-flung and exotic outposts of League Two accompanied by his equally football-obsessed wife Kay. When it was all over would he go back, or had “little” Leyton Orient truly captured his soul?
