I went to school with the son of their then chairman, Jack Dunnett was the dad’s name from memory, I played in goal for the first 11 and the son got me a pair of goalkeeping gloves from his dad. There ya go, today’s useless random trivia

Come on Brentford! Would make for a very exciting final at Wembley if Fulham and Brentford got through.

Much later from a quick Google, this was mid sixties!

Dunnett then ended up at Notts County (again from Google)

Bees.

What a pass for the opening goal. Fantastic open game, can't believe there won't be more goals.

Family lore has it that he thought up the idea of the playoffs?

Bees.


“Brentford are winless in their past 11 EFL play-off games, losing eight of those and last winning in 2002 against Huddersfield in the third tier semi-final second leg.”

Familiar awful play-off form. They deserve to win.

RIP Martin. Met him once when I worked as a back-up mechanic on a classic car rally in the Pyrenees. Lovely, unassuming bloke,drove a '72 V12 Ferrari convertible as it was designed to be driven,gunned it everywhere. I cleaned all 12 of his spark plugs in an underground car park of a hotel in Saint Jean de Luz,near Biarritz .
Lived, I believe, at Sutton Place ( ex Ghetti )

That's good to know.

I only knew him when I was a child, he was a generation older than me. Always a nice guy, self made man and all that.
He got Wembley tickets for my younger brother (who contacted him out of the blue) when Brentford got to the final of the Milk Cup (or something) a few decades ago.
He seems to be well remembered by the Brentford faithful.

Brentford are a really interesting team. Granted I've only watched them tonight and in the Barnsley game on the last day of the season, but they play the game at about 100mph and so directly. That first goal tonight was almost League Two-esque in how direct it was. They're on that line between relentless and erratic: when it's going well, every ricochet and second ball will somehow fall at their feet. When it's going not so well, even the simplest of passes miss their players and they're all running around like they're Ezequiel Schelotto.

I have no idea how well suited they'd be for the PL with their playing style and moneyball system. Would they stick by the ethos that every player has their price and just see it as an opportunity to buy more expensive young players from the continent? Or do they abandon it and hold on to players like Benrahma at all costs?

All I know is that it's pretty refreshing and this game is brilliantly end-to-end.

RIP Swa sdorf

anyway **** Brentford though happy for Jansson. Friendly reminder mr Potter sodomized "Thomas FranK" or whatever their danish coke dealer is called three times in the Championship / some cup last year.

Is all good though

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Could well be the next Norwich if they come up. Plus Uncle Tony will get another game sitting with the fans (if any allowed). Still rather A.K. and Fulham do it though.

Our chairman most definately would.
