I had a trial at Orient a couple of weeks before this match. I was a winger, and same age as Chiedozie, that is where the comparison ends LOL.

Tottenham eventually signed John Chiedoze! You can only imagine the fighting before and after the game tho.

Can you imagine Sky Sports having a game from the lower divisions as it’s main match?! Times have changed!

They won't do it. Not commercially viable. WTF

@@mohdazmi10 Depends. They recently showed Salford V Leeds live in the Carabou cup. While Fulham V Sprus wasn't. Leeds following generates them more TV revenue that Fulham or Spurs.

You must remember that The Big Match only aired in London, and in regions of England where there weren't enough top flight clubs to justify the local ITV company producing their own football programme (such as Westward and Border) Being an all-capital matchup, Orient-Spurs would therefore be far more appealing to their core audience than Ipswich-Newcastle.

Must have been quite an occasion for Orient, with once-mighty Spurs as their visitors. I gather there was around 25,000 at the game, surely their best home league of the 1977-78 season, and which I'd guess was more than double their normal home average?
