FOREWORD
Football is our nation’s favourite game. Football is everywhere, it pervades all walks of life. But however overbearing it may sometimes appear, it continues to be personal to each and every one of us Brentford Football Club is such a case, it is unique, as indeed may most clubs be to those who support them. But Brentford has a special something about it which may be difficult to describe to the lay man but is inborn in anyone who has ever been smitten by this west London club. Once bitten by these Bees there is no antidote. Surrounded by clubs whose aspirations are being aided and abetted by untold millions, this Club continues to survive and build for the future through the simple dedication of those who are the lifeblood of the game…the supporters. This book, through the simple use of questions and answers, will not only test your knowledge about Brentford but will also help and educate those who are not fully aware of the “who, what, when, why and how” that has shaped this great Club, and give them a better understanding of why supporting Brentford is more than just a way of life … it is for life!
Best wishes Peter Gilham

INTRODUCTION
I would first of all like to thank Peter Gilham for writing the foreword to this book. I am very grateful for his help on this project. I would also like to thank all the past legends of Brentford Football Club and many current employees of the club for their comments and reviews on this book (these can be found at the back of the book). I would also like to thank Ann Stanford and Alison Stephens for their help and advice during the books compilation. I hope you enjoy this book. Hopefully it should bring back some wonderful memories! It was great working with Kevin Snelgrove again, who is very well organised, between us I hope we have given you a selection of easy, medium and hard questions. In closing, I would like to thank all my friends and family for encouraging me to complete this book.
Best wishes Chris Cowlin
