Boos sorry now

Posted on: Mon 27 Apr 2009

Gary Alexander received a fair bit of stick from Leyton Orient fans on Saturday, but the former Brisbane Road striker had the last laugh with a two-goal salvo to sink his former club.
And the national press were quick to pick up on just that....

Daily Mirror

Gary Alexander admitted his treatment at the hands of the Orient fans helped fuel his match-winning double.
 The former O's striker was jeered as he led the attack for play-off bound Millwall. And he responded with two second-half goals to cancel out Simon Church's opener.
Alexander said: "It's nice to score against a former club, especially after they booed me.
So I decided to celebrate with the Millwall fans. It's good to get one back on them - if they boo me, then I'm going to celebrate."

Gary Alexander is ready for the play-offs after silencing the Orient boo-boys.
The Lions hitman hit a second-half brace against his former club.
He said: "I spent four years at Orient and they do that to me. It was great to score and get one over them.
As for the play-offs? I don;t care who we get."
Scott McGleish saw his seventh-minute penalty saved by Lions' David Forde after he had been fouled by Andy Frampton.
Simon Church then put the visitors ahead after the break before Alexander ran riot.
Orient boss Geraint Williams said: "A hell of a lot of effort has gone into keeping this club in the league."
