'Viva Las Vegas'

• by Soccer America , Feb 21, 2011

[OFF THE POST] A draw was a good as a win for players on third-tier English club Leyton Orient, who were rewarded with a (postseason) trip to Las Vegas by the club's owner after they held Arsenal to a 1-1 tie on Jonathan Tehoue’s 89th-minute goal in their fifth-round English FA Cup match.

Chairman Barry Hearn promised the players a trip to Las Vegas if they could earn a replay worth $1 million to the club.

Orient manager Russell Slade says “the lads had Elvis Presley [“Viva Las Vegas”] on when the chairman walked into the changing room.”
