Tommy Johnston was
recently voted Leyton Orient’s greatest ever player
by fans of the club in a poll to mark the Millennium,
gaining 20 percent of all votes cast. Born in Loanhead,
Tommy holds the club record for the most goals scored in
a single season, and the most goals scored on aggregate
throughout his career.
During his long career,
Tommy played in every class of football, from juvenile
football in Scotland with Loanhead Mayflower and Peebles
Rovers, to professional with one Scottish League club
(Kilmarnock), one Welsh club (Newport County) and seven
English clubs: Darlington, Oldham Athletic, Norwich City,
Leyton Orient (twice), Blackburn Rovers and Gillingham.
The author, Neil, is a
regular contributor to the site and he writes that Tommy
has not been well and is need of open heart surgery,

wishes to him at

Top Bob 2004
This year's
Top Bob is clearly won by David
Hay
for his part in helping Livingston win the Scottish
League Cup - the club's first major trophy. In a contest
notable mainly for site visitors' complete and total
apathy for taking part, David got twice as many votes as
ANY other contender !
Previous
winners: 2000 Sir Alex Ferguson, 2001 John Lambie, 2002 Sir
Bobby Robson, 2003 Brian Talbot (Ipswich
Town)

The
Special Bob
This
season's award, given by the webmaster, continues its
tradition of being awarded to former Leeds United
players. This year's recipient is Allan
Clarke.
This season, my son and I watched his 1972 FA Cup winner
for Leeds United against Arsenal a number of times until
the phrase 'Clarke 1-0' became a household catchphrase.
Then before the last game at Elland Road last season, I
bumped into him outside the ground and said hello.
Somehow forgot I actually had my camera in my pocket...
ho, hum.

HELLO from Robert Endeacott / RELISH BOOKS
Hello!
I hope you’re well and life is good. I’ve
started up RELISH BOOKS, a small publishing company
aiming to give people a chance of getting on to the
literary ladder and create a kind of literature
co-operative in the North. Please check out the
Relish website below for more detail.
If
you’d like to help Relish Books in any way, or
be a ‘Friend of Relish Books’ or indeed contribute
as a writer, please let me
know. Or if you would just like to be kept informed
of Relish’s developments (with invites to
exclusive book launches, special offers &
discounts etc) please say so too.
PS
Relish’s first title is the great and very funny
'Humbugs', due out in the Summer and my own book
sequel (to 'One Northern Soul') is due out later in
the year on Route publications, provisionally titled
'Liquid Years.''Robert Endeacott
