He is pictured in the Museum with Jamie Stripe (L) and Tom Davies (R), former editors of the Orientear.

ALT Orient Memories is a new initiative from the Club and Leyton Orient Trust with Forever Orient and the Club Historian to celebrate and commemorate Orient, its players, staff and fans by sharing memories and experiences to help those who wish to look back, those who may struggle with memory issues and those who want to learn about what make Orient a great club. The plan is to have monthly early evening meetings focusing on an era or specific match bringing together those there at the time to share their reflections.

Happy 90th birthday to Bobby Mason, one of 23 players to have featured for the O’s during their sole season in the First Division (1962-63).
Along with fellow new nonagenarian Vic Rouse, Mason’s milestone was marked in yesterday’s #LOFC matchday programme.

Tonight marks the first time #LOFC have scored six goals away from home since 18th December 1954 when they won 7-2 at Torquay.
The only other time they have achieved that feat was forty-two days earlier (6th November 1954) when they won 7-1 against none other than… Exeter City.

We are extremely saddened to hear that O’s legend Mickey Bullock has passed away, aged 78.
Whilst at Orient, Mickey made 308 appearances, scoring 69 goals.
The club send their deepest condolences to all of Mickey's family and friends at this very sad time.

Parsons and Sharp were then buried at Fireman’s Corner in Highgate Cemetery.
In 1934, a memorial for the firemen buried there was purchased and their names were duly inscribed.

An inquest was held soon after the funeral and a verdict of "Accidental Death" given.
Fireman George Bryant stated that in 26 years, “I have been to several hundred fires and I never saw a wall go out like it[…] As it fell it came in one piece and crumpled up in two seconds".

One hundred years on, we continue to remember and commemorate Parsons' heroic life.
His fascinating life story was featured in the matchday programme for last years' #LOFC match against Oxford, which was played on Armistice Day.

Likely inspired by his teammates, Parsons enlisted in September 1915 and served as a gunner in the Royal Field Artillery over in France.
His service is commemorated on this plaque (originally unveiled on 24th February 1917), which currently hangs in the Supporters' Club.

A falling wall - later described as built "like a sausage" - fell on Parsons, taking his life, as well as that of Henry George Sharp of the Salvage Corps.
