4,003 people turned out that day to see Orient, who finished 16th that season, beat 'Donny Rovers.'
The fixture, which was a Division Three game, started a four game scoring streak for Alex Inglethorpe, who went on to score in his last four games of the season - winning six points in the process for Orient.
His previous goal came in a 4-4 draw at Brighton, Ray Wilkins' penultimate match, and the goal before that was in a 5-1 loss at eventual champions Wigan. Only goal difference brought Wigan the title that year and it may be the same for the O's this year...
Inglethorpe missed several games between Brighton and Doncaster, meaning he scored 6 in 7 games.
The other man to score against the Yorkshire based team that day was Andy Arnott. Arnott was just 24 at the time and would soon sign for London rivals, Fulham, who finished 2nd that year. Doncaster would finish 19th that year and in that same season they fielded a centre back, Paul Marquis. A relation to John maybe?
