Season summary

[edit]
Harry King was the leading goalscorer during the season and was the first Brentford player to register aFootball Leaguehattrick.

After18 seasons as members of theSouthern League,Brentford were named as founder members of the newFootball League Third Division for the 1920–21 campaign.[1] In preparation, 11 new players were signed and £2,000 was spent on improvements toGriffin Park.[2] Despite flirting with a position in mid-table during August and September 1920, the club endured a torrid season, sinking to there-election places by October and largely remaining there for the rest of the season.[3] TheFA Cup was exited in the first round.[3] Brentford successfully applied for re-election to theFootball League at the end of the season without going to a poll.[4] Three directors resigned after the season, due to a deficit of nearly £6,000 (equivalent to £336,200 in 2023).[2]

The goalscoring of formerArsenalforwardHarry King provided one of the rare bright spots of the season, with his 18 goals accounting for nearly half that of the team's total.[5] King also became the first Brentford player to register a Football Leaguehat-trick in a 5–0 thrashing ofGrimsby Town on 28 March 1921,[5] the Bees' biggest win of the season.[3] The result established the club record for the highest winning margin in a Football League match, which would stand until broken in September 1929.[6] Secretary managerFred Halliday stood down after the season and reverted to an administrative role within the club.[7] Management adviserBilly Brawn also stepped down.[8] Brentford's 9 league victories during the season is the joint-fewest in the club's history andJimmy Hodson became the club's record-oldest player when he appeared in the final match of the season at age 40 years, 8 months and two days.[9]
