Chairman Nigel Travis lifts the 2018-19 National League trophy with Justin EdinburghDirector of football Martin Ling says Thursday was "tinged with sadness" as Leyton Orient learned their Football League fixtures while still mourning the death of manager Justin Edinburgh. Leyton Orient begin their campaign against Cheltenham, after Edinburgh led the club back into League Two. "Because the man who took us back into the Football League is not going to lead us when we are there." Edinburgh not only met the challenge, he took Leyton Orient to Wembley, where they were beaten by AFC Fylde in the FA Trophy final in May. He will go down as the manager who took the club back into the Football League.
