CHAIRMAN Barry Hearn has warned that 'little Leyton Orient' are out to spring a shock on Norwich City this weekend.
“It’s the FA Cup," he said.
"There’s a special type of magic about that. No one in their right mind doesn’t want to win it.”
The sides clash at Carrow Road on Saturday in round three of the oldest cup competion on planet football.
“What they (the players) are going to say is ‘this is the FA Cup, this is what legends are made of, and in my career I want to look back at a successful run in these competitions,’" said Hearn.
“So you know it’s going to be a thoroughly competitive game.”
But the Matchroom supremo predicted a tough encounter for the League One club at the home of promotion-chasing Canaries, currently flying high in the Championship.
