Josh Wright celebrates his goal against Cheltenham Town

ON AN emotional Saturday afternoon at Brisbane Road, Josh Wright’s second-half goal gave Leyton Orient the win as the club remembered former manager Justin Edinburgh.

Orient overcame Cheltenham Town on their return to League Two. Edinburgh won promotion last season before dying in June having suffered a cardiac arrest.

The pre-match minute’s silence was observed impeccably by those in attendance and Wright, Edinburgh’s last signing before his death, scored the goal to secure the three points.
