The popular Play With A Legend event is returning to Brisbane Road this May with Leyton Orient fans having the chance to play with three heroes of the 2005/06 League Two promotion winning team.
Gary Alexander and John Mackie will once again be returning to captain two of the sides made up of fans, the third year they have done so, and they will be joined by a third ex-O’s player.
Orient legend Matt Lockwood will be involved this time around as a three-way tournament takes place under the Brisbane Road lights.
All the details for the event, which will take place on Thursday May 10, can be found by clicking here.
Tickets went on sale earlier this year and fans can sign up for 45 or 90 minutes of action on the pitch with prices starting at £125.

Play With A Legend director Josh Landy said: “We’re delighted to be heading back to Brisbane Road for the third year in a row, giving 45 Orient fans the chance to play on the pitch with club legends.
“Gary has been victorious in the last two years, but John is reportedly undergoing an intense fitness regime in order to be in peak condition for the event, whilst Matt is flying in from his home in Edinburgh hoping to lead a team of fans to glory!
“Places start at just £125, and we expect the event to once again be a complete sell out.”
