Review
Tot Leverton broke his leg in the first few minutes of the second half and spent the remainder of the game in a London hospital. A clash with Orient's goalkeeper left him with a double fracture that would keep him out of action for the rest of this season. John Anderson scored the only goal for us in just 2 minutes, and it was his only goal for Forest in what would ultimately be 42 appearances.
