If Leyton Orient were a musical instrument they would be... a cello. Reasonably-sized and potentially beautiful in the right hands - as shown by the O's third-place finish in League One two seasons ago. Furthermore, one of Orient's most notable fans, Julian Lloyd Webber rose to fame as a cellist. Around the 1700's, cello's were made popular by Italians. Orient are also popular in Italy - last season their owner Francesco Becchetti put the O's on an Italian reality TV show on the Agon Channel which he owns.
