    Orient have continued to add Spurs academy players to their squad by signing Dominic Ball.
    He was on our books for 5 years and made the bench twice, but never got on the pitch.

    15 years ago today:


    He was fined and given a suspended ban. Thierry "Banned from Ireland" Henry? Not so much.

    Andros Townsend has joined Antalyaspor after a bizarre transfer saga that saw him temporarily deregistered as a professional footballer.

    They become the 15th club of his career. Paul Stewart only played for 11. Amateur.

    Perhaps our children will gather together on a football forum and see who can post 'Andros Townsend' first when PNP's son puts up the match thread.

    Looks like a nice coastal area, to be fair. Probably won't want to mention his Greek Cypriot roots, though...

    I also recall that much later finding out that a certain David Icke played in goal for Coventry that day

    Agree 100%. A latter-day Dave Mackay and could have completely transformed the clubs mentality.
    Just imagine a midfield with Souness, Hoddle and Ardiles!! <yikes>

    Troy Parrott's four goals against Robin van Persie's Heerenveen:


    Glad we don't have to face him anytime soon...

    And thank **** we got rid of a player who cost us peanuts and appears to be a natural goalscorer! Heaven forbid we ever have one of those in our ranks! <laugh>

    I don't think that Parrott was ever going to succeed at Spurs, due to his off-field connections.
    Hopefully he'll mature and leave those elements behind him.

    Of all of the people that post on here! <laugh>
    Parrott has been photographed with various people connected to Irish organised crime. He's put some on social media himself.
    His own family are connected to the Kinahans, allegedly.
