I have been found safely by Cornwall Police in Looe just prior to going into what I can assure you was cold sea water! Thank you for all the well wishes - I will seek the help I need and sorry for the terrible pain I have caused so many and then seek to rebuild my career / life
A very difficult and emotional day as Justin was laid to rest - not a dry eye in the house. The speeches made by the family including
@Charliedinburgh
were so heartfelt. Justin was and always will be rightly proud of his lovely family. RIP Justin and thank you for being you
Meet Ruby Lydia Macklin - born yesterday at 11.14am - the amazing mother and equally the 8.4lb gorgeous baby are well.
Have to say that was the best moment of my life seeing Claire finally have a girl - what she always wanted & now has.

The tributes to Justin tonight from the
@TheNationalLge
have been very touching and something we will share with his lovely family. We collected his manger of the year award with pride
Wow, where to start! Proud, delighted, ecstatic to announce…
Thank you! Thank-you Harry Kane (who of course played his first pro-game for
@leytonorientfc
) and the hard working commercial, marketing & media team at Orient for turning a wildcat idea, in my shower, into reality
Some big personal news to share - I want to thank everyone connected to
@leytonorientfc
from fans, staff, players, board, and sponsors to the local community - very much business as usual for me until the end of Feb - thank you
#LOFC
Week one as new Managing Director of
@AFCWimbledon
Wow... I knew it was a club with a proud heritage, an amazing community ethos, an amazing ground / venue in The Cherry Red Records Stadium, an excellent set of staff but this week has blown me away with the potential
So that’s me done - thank you to every
@leytonorientfc
fan -I am confident results will soon turn around and we can get smiles back on supporter faces - thanks for everything - for those interested my new businesses are
@BeSynonymous
and
@PhoenixBtree
- take care and Up The O’s!
Super excited to be starting as Managing Director at
@AFCWimbledon
tomorrow. Have enjoyed for the first time in my 20-year career a week’s annual leave with my lovely family in Cornwall without doing any work – it really has taught me the importance of doing that when you can.
If I can personally help anyone in the
@leytonorientfc
fan family who maybe struggling to feed their family at this very tough time simply DM me and I will do all I can to help - these are unprecedented times and we are all in this together

Seriously excited with the appointment of Kenny Jackett to

- during the interview process Kenny was immense and his experience and passion shone through - a new era starts here - hopefully happy

#LOFC
Enjoy the deserved accolades. Six years ago the journey started in a lowly national league spot and the rest is history as they say. The journey happened because of the above and of course none of this would be possible within Justin Edinburgh who will be looking down tonight
Today I truly know what it means to be an Orient fan! I grew up a Gillingham fan (my late Dad’s local team) and I celebrated today more than any moment supporting them. I count myself as one very, very lucky CEO and football fan plus now an LOFC fan (for life).
The Club has today issued a banning order to a supporter, following reports of racist abuse following last night’s Euro 2020 Final.

#OnlyOneOrient
Less than 48 hours on and
@LOFCShop
shirt sales have been sky rocketing - at this rate by Monday we would have sold as many replica shirts as we did in whole of the last year! Cannot thank enough fans (and not just
@leytonorientfc
fans) who have purchased so far. A top up order
Reaching out to all
@leytonorientfc
fans - IF anyone who is part of our great Club is struggling in anyway please let me know. I will do all I can to help at this very challenging and difficult times. I want to make sure we continue to communicate to fans regularly - I will be on
So 100 days into Managing Director role
@AFCWimbledon
- lots of exciting plans ahead to make this great club even greater, bigger, better and successful. I look forward to sharing & bringing to life the details in the coming weeks & months - together we go as one
#AFCW

Wow what a win and made extra special with a
@leytonorientfc
@BreyerGStadium
crowd! Massive team effort on and off the pitch today - welcome all feedback on the experience
#LOFC
2 days on and I am still buzzing - today we hosted team meetings with all staff reflecting on the season and planning for next - one of the many reasons I love this Club
#DontStandStill
#OnlyOneOrient
@leytonorientfc
I accept fans maybe frustrated at results recently I get that but the abuse I and others receive on here is simply crazy - DMs / messages calling me a horrible homophobic term - social media is a cause for good many times but certainly not when you receive sick messages and abuse
Today’s been a day of reflection - be grateful for what we have
@leytonorientfc
and let’s build on
@JE3Foundation
legacy - love this Club and all it means to so many
The day is here! Like every
@leytonorientfc
fan I got next to no sleep! Make sure you arrive early to help build that special Orient atmosphere. Looking forward to watching the game with wife and first born today
@BreyerGStadium
#OnlyOneOrient
Remember this
@leytonorientfc
fans...
You have a great team to support, champion winning players, a great board, a hard working on and off field team, a great set of players and management team - let’s make
@BreyerGStadium
rock tomorrow
#LOFC
A year to the day since I joined
@leytonorientfc
and loved every minute - fans, players, staff, sponsors and community are amazing - cannot wait for the future
#OnlyOneOrient
Really want to urge Orient fans to arrive early tomorrow
@BreyerGStadium
to get the atmosphere going and take it all in. We are close but still work to be done to achieve the P! Try and enjoy the day
@leytonorientfc
fans - your support this season has been amazing
Thanks for reading - here’s to life back in The EFL! Let’s enjoy these times, savour these times, remember these times but know we want more! More success, more engagement, more memories! Love to every Orient person. Champions!!!!!
Would like to wish every
@leytonorientfc
fan, player, staff member, director, sponsors and partners a very Merry Christmas - time to sit back for a couple of days and enjoy family time - just need an Orient themed star for the top of the tree!
#OnlyOneOrient
Cannot thank Ross enough for everything he has done in exceptionally difficult circumstances - he will continue to be a fantastic asset to this great Club and experienced support to the new Head Coach
@leytonorientfc
#LOFC
The Club can confirm Ross Embleton has made the decision to revert to his position of Assistant Coach upon the appointment of a new Head Coach in the coming weeks.
#LOFC
#OnlyOneOrient
I apologise for trying to save the club losing over £2m a year some money - please see my earlier tweets for justification, as I see it, for decisions taken. Here’s to a good home tie in 2nd round
Macklin has a lot to answer for in effectively conceding home advantage with the stadium debacle. Why on earth would you give over the East Stand to the away supporters. Could have cost us dearly
UPDATE: Discussions have taken place within the Club and it has been deemed that requesting to move the kick-off time for Swindon may be detrimental to fans who have already bought tickets and made travel arrangements 📢
The kick-off time will remain at 3pm.
#AFCW
🟡🔵
Delighted to welcome Carl to the
@leytonorientfc
family - right the way through the interview process his approach, knowledge of the game and ethos shone very brightly. Massive thanks and credit to Ross, Danny and Jobi for playing leading roles in the past few months.
#LOFC
That was a class performance and excellent result against a team who will certainly be contending for the top spots - great to meet new faces and see many familiar ones
#AFCW
Wow what a night! Something special is brewing in E10 thanks to the immense hard work of the Board, Ross, Martin, players & every member of staff. We can look forward to Tuesday

will be with us at the beginning of April 2023 & we can’t wait!!
@mrsmack15
Was so great to see someone virtually my age make his comeback today
@jobimcanuff7
- he is a major credit to
@leytonorientfc
and the game. A true workhorse and seeing his hard work (and that of our medical and fitness teams) was fantastic!
#LOFC
Having watched tonight plus the drama of a power cut - A massive congratulations to everyone connected to
@lofc
- the success this season is exceptional and testament to the hard work, vision and development of all. From the board to every staff member and players.
The term legend is often over used but with
@jobimcanuff7
it is 100% justified - his service to
@leytonorientfc
and other Clubs he has represented speaks volumes - done it at every level for Club and country - a true gent on and off the pitch
#LOFC
❤️ The player. The captain. The manager.
After 20 seasons, Jobi McAnuff has officially retired from football.
And we couldn't be prouder to have called him one of our own.
#LOFC
#OnlyOneOrient
Echo the comments of every member of the
@leytonorientfc
family - the messages of support for Justin and his lovely family have rightly been flooding in
Just want to say a HUGE thanks to the huge amount of very kind and welcomed messages over the last 24 hours - I urge everyone to attend if they can tomorrow
@BreyerGStadium
- I am going to savour every single second of the next few months - this is a club with amazing fans…
So great great great news
@leytonorientfc
fans - we will announce details ASAP how the ballots will work - all I will add is a HUGE amount of work that is taking place to ensure as much safety as possible!
#LOFC
A special day... one to savour and a reward (and hopefully promotion) for every
@leytonorientfc
fan, staff (many who went through very tough times), players, directors and sponsors
Just a short note to all
@leytonorientfc
fans and partners - the tough times continue but WE WILL get through this - enjoy if you can a long weekend in the safety and comfort of home - stay well
#LOFC
Wow wow wow well done
@AFCWimbledon
a great result against a time moments from
@premierleague
last season - amazing support from start to end - please be a kind draw 🤞
@Carabao_Cup
Such sad news - as a Club we have lost way too many of the people that make our Club what it is - we will have a memorial event at

at the appropriate time
#LOFC
GARY McCULLUM: We are truly devastated to hear the news today that Gary passed away from Covid this morning 💔 Gary was always willing to lend a hand around the Club and was always on the Away fans coach - he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
#RIPGary
Well 24 hours or so to go... I want to publically thank everyone behind the scenes as the often unsung heroes
@leytonorientfc
that have simply played a great role in getting us ready against a summer of every emotion possible - whether it’s making the pitch great once again
Great to see so much positivity in the
@leytonorientfc
fan base with the appointment of Kenny Jackett. A surge in season card sales with renewal packs hitting door mats from today - here’s to making
@BreyerGStadium
a fortress next season

The work that has gone in this window by Martin and Ross (with support from the Transfer Committee) has been really good and non-stop. We made 3 great additions last Jan and this window looks equally fruitful. A chance to bounce back with 2 games this week
#LOFC
@leytonorientfc
A very good few days for

@AFCWimbledon

The Club has made many signings down the years and in the future but none more important and warranted than this one - pleasure to work with and take guidance, advice and great banter!

This is a really great appointment - having met Mark a couple of times in recent weeks (and over the last few years) he will be an excellent CEO for
