Leebrook made his debut during that Orient season in a home game against Aldershot and went on to make 59 first team appearances before being released. He's now living in America and is over visiting friends including former team mate, and Phil Collins look-a-like, Ash Hoskin.
Against all odds for one more night the two of them will step back out onto the Turf Moor pitch together. They will feel like they are having another day in paradise back out there where I'm sure they will both be telling each other do you remember that shot at goal when I missed again.
Hoskin of course is still very much involved at Turf Moor as one of the coaches at the centre of excellence and can always be seen coaching some of them down at Gawthorpe on Saturday mornings before the youth games.
They might not have played in the best ever Burnley team but I don't care anymore, there'll be applause in the air tonight for these two former Clarets.
