The new book to celebrate Brentford Football Club’s 125th Anniversary is currently at the printers, ready for launch.
Brentford 125: The Official History will offer a sentimental, and often emotional, excavation of club landmarks throughout the years.
The story starts from the events surrounding the formation of the club by its founding fathers right through to the euphoria that surrounded May’s 2014 promotion to the Championship.
The book, which is produced by those behind the impressive Big Brentford Book series, has been designed to celebrate events and re-live matches which have been etched in the record books, and to remember the players and some of the personalities who have rightly earned their place in the memory banks.
Not only is the book compiled by Brentford fans, it’s also printed and bound by Brentford supporters at HM Printers in London (
).
The journey through the decades has been achieved by replicating actual press cuttings from a variety of sources, many by local newspaper reporters George Sands and Ernest Gifford - in addition to the pseudonym ‘Argus’ – a moniker that was handed down to successive journalists at the Richmond and Twickenham Times from the early 1900s right through to World War Two.
Lots of popular personal favourites will be found, alongside the unusual and quirky items – the book provides an opportunity to reminisce, savour and discover the magic of 125 glorious years of the Bees.
The book will cost 29.99 and details of when it will go on sale will follow shortly.
