Unlikely friendships between two footbal clubs.
Leyton Orient 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & Edinburgh’s Heart Of Midlothian 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
A friendship that dates back the early part of The Great War (1914 ~ 1918). Players of Hearts and then-named Clapton Orient led the way as the first professional footballers to volunteer en-masse for what became known as the “Pals’ Battalions”. Both Battalions suffered terrible losses and heavy casualties, with three Orient players and three Hearts players killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme alone.
To celebrate 150 years of Heart Of Midlothian, next year the Scottish club will host Orient in a pre season friendly at Tynecastle Park. ⚽️
