Whilst working as a carpenter and playing in non-league football with Billericay Town, Cass was signed by Orient as cover for first-choice keeper Peter Wells in March 1987.[1] The following month, Wells broke his leg and Cass was called up to replace him. He played seven games for Orient before the end of the 1986–87 season and kept a clean sheet in the 3–0 victory over Cambridge United,[2] though Orient narrowly missed out on the Fourth Division promotion play-offs. On 9 May 1987 Cass played for Orient against Burnley, in a game which has gone down in Burnley folklore. Burnley needed to win that day to stay in the Football League, having been a founder member. The average home gate that season was 3,257, but that day 15,781 turned out at Turf Moor to see Burnley beat Leyton Orient 2–1 with goals from Neil Grewcock and Ian Britton.[3] Such is the importance of this game to Burnley supporters that the goals are still shown before every home match.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}} Cass played for Leyton Orient in season 1986-87 and not 1987-88 as listed in this profile. source: Neilson N.
