Peter May Centre returning 4th December
Scholar Sam Dalby joined the elusive list of youngest players to make their debut for Leyton Orient last night after coming on as a substitute in the 3-1 Checkatrade Trophy victory over Stevenage.
The first-year scholar replaced Jordan Bowery on the 74th minute to make his debut at the age of 16 years and 226 days.
The striker now ranks as the sixth youngest player to have made their debut for the O’s, one spot below fellow academy scholar Myles Judd by only 37 days.
Paul Went continues to top the list having made his maiden appearance at the age of 15 years and 327 days, with Tommy Taylor in second place on 15 years and 334 days.
