Remember seeing them play Orient in London in the eighties must have been in the third round of the FA cup. Went with a couple of Cardiff supporting mates. Lots of Merthyr fans in the pub god knows how they found it it was in the back streets of Leyton. We were able to show them the way to the ground as we played Orient regularly in those days and I lived in east London. We usually lost to Orient too. Think Merthyr drew the game and lost the replay in Wales. Not a bad side.

Incidentally we went to the same pub for the infamous game when a team of mainly Orient reserves and trialists beat Wales. Had to take some piss taking from Orient fans after the match.
