Leyton Orient 4-2 Oldham Athletic. FA Cup 3rd Round replay, 15th January 1992. Part 1

That evening, the BBC chose to show a live replay between the top two teams in the old Division One, Leeds Utd and Manchester Utd. For sheer drama they should have picked this game, instead of relegating it to the highlights programme Sportsnight later that evening. From the season before the Premier League, third tier Leyton Orient took on top tier Oldham Athletic in a 3rd Round FA Cup replay. It was, so far, the last time the O’s defeated a top division side at Brisbane Road in the FA Cup... This edition of Sportsnight was presented by Bob Wilson, and the commentator at Brisbane Road was Tony Gubba. Part 1 of 2
