About this book

PENALTY to Brentford. It’s Toney. Calm as ever. Steps up ... smashes it in off the post! 1 – 0 at Wembley. The curse hangs heavy, nine play-off attempts, no promotions … but the dream is alive. Then, Marcondes adds a second! The final whistle blows. Brentford are going up! After 74 years away, the Bees are in the Premier League!

Follow the story of Brentford FC through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from original reports dating back to 1927. This edition charts the highs, lows, and historic rise of the Bees, exactly as it was reported at the time.

Featuring:

– The club’s early years and rise through the divisions
– Memorable moments at Griffin Park
– Play-off heartbreaks and the long wait for promotion
– Ivan Toney’s decisive penalty in the 2021 Championship Play-off Final
