English Champions Carlisle United were promotion bound but their aim to finish as Division Three Champions as well took a knock with a visit to Brisbane Road to play Leyton Orient.
One of London's smallest professional clubs, until their relegation in 2017 Orient had been members of the Football League for 112 years.
Back in 1997 they were flirting with relegation as well but a win over Carlisle put many of their fears to bed.
Two first half goals for Scott McGleish were enough for Orient, though Carlisle did pull one back on the stroke of half-time.
Leyton Orient's future right now may well be in doubt but they can always remember the time they were Champions of England.
