About Brentford
Brentford play at the Gtech Community Stadium, capacity 17,250, having spent 74 years outside the top flight before returning in 2021. Founded in 1889, the Bees' entire recruitment model is built on statistical analytics, pioneered by owner Matthew Benham. There are no major trophies. The story is the model: buy smart, develop, sell, repeat, compete. The West London derby with Fulham adds local spice.
Legends
Ivan Toney (2020-2024) scored 31 Championship goals in 2020/21 to fire Brentford up, his penalty record and sheer front making him a cult figure before his move to Saudi Arabia. Thomas Frank has managed the club since 2018, the longest-serving coach in the division and the architect of their Premier League establishment.
