The powerful former Chelsea midfielder, who scored two crucial goals in the penultimate promotion game away to Luton, goes down in history as the first player to score for Leyton Orient in the top division. His tap-in at home to Arsenal on the opening day could not prevent defeat, and after four games he made way for Bolland but he still racked up 17 appearances, plus half a dozen Cup games.
