These ones are personal and mostly from fairly recently. It is not like I have any glorious play-off final victories to pick from so just some of the games that I have been to that I enjoyed the most.
Brentford 2 Sunderland 1 FA cup 4th Round, 2006
It was only the 4th round and we were playing one of the worst sides in Premier League history but this is still my favourite Brentford cup moment, ahead of beating Everton in the League cup and almost beating Chelsea in the FA cup. This was very much the 'old' Brentford but a pretty good version of it and we had a huge chance of promotion that season but this game was pretty much all about DJ Campbell, at the time he was about as good as I could envisage a Brentford player being and this was his greatest moment. Of course it all went horribly wrong after this, he immediately got sold to Birmingham, we bought an astonishingly bad replacement, came 3rd in the League, lost the play-offs and got relegated the next season.
Brentford 1 Preston 0, 2014
The most obvious one in here, our promotion was not especially dramatic but it was wonderfully cathartic after what had happened the season before, sealed with a penalty as well although we still managed to miss one in the second half. Remember very little of the game itself it was all about the final whistle (well actually waiting for the final whistle from another game) my Dad not going to that game was the only thing that was missing. Still can't believe he managed to miss it.
Brentford 3 Brighton 2, 2014
Could have had loads of games from this season and we had better wins but this was early season and it was the moment when we realised we could do far more than just survive in the Championship, the level of football we played was just so much higher than anything I had seen before. It was also the first time we properly saw Jota, remember my Dad saying during the warm up 'what is that guy doing playing for Brentford, he looks like a Real Madrid player.' We have had better players since but he was the first.
Burton 3 Brentford 5, 2017
This game did not really mean anything, we were very much mid table that season. It was just a ridiculously fun match with us 3-1 down at half time after letting in some horrendous goals before an amazing second half. We were so fun the second half of that season with Jota and Canos returning. I also just loved going to Burton, a lot of away games in the Championship are in big Premier League sized stadiums but Burton barely felt like League Two, it was magnificent.
Brentford 5 Sheffield Wednesday 0, 2020
Huge recency bias here, it was the last game I went to but it also means by far the most of all of these. Turns out this was the last game I will ever see at Griffin Park. It seems pretty obvious looking back now that football was about to stop for a while but honestly it only briefly crossed my mind while watching the game that this was the last time we would be there. As for the game itself we were brilliant, this is easily the best squad we have ever had (I am ignoring the 1930s here) and this was one of our very best performances of the season. The football we play now is light years ahead of anything I could have imagined but all done in that same beautiful ramshackle of a football ground. It is going to be so strange seeing it for the last time on TV with no fans so I am always going to try and think of this game as its perfect end. I will miss it so much.
