Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade has paid tribute to 'inspirational' striker Kevin Lisbie.

Veteran frontman Lisbie has scored 18 goals so far this term and will make his 45th appearance of the season in Sunday's play-off final against Rotherham. "I love Kev, he's proved to be an inspirational signing," said Slade. "He's 35 but what he can offer to my younger players is absolutely invaluable. "When he's on the pitch for me he's the focus, he helps keep us all together. Lis and I have a fantastic relationship with an awful lot of respect and, like all the players, a fantastic trust."
