During the1985–86 English football season,Brentford competed in theFootball League Third Division. Inferior home form and a number of key player departures meant that the Bees could finish no higher than 10th position.

Season summary

[edit]

Wimbledon winger Ian Holloway was signed onloan late in the season to invigorate the attack.

After the recentHeysel Stadium disaster and theBradford City stadium fire, the financial implications of the work needed to bringGriffin Park up to standard hamperedBrentford managerFrank McLintock's movement in the transfer market during the 1985 off-season.^[1] The core of the previous season'sFootball League Trophy final team would be sold off,^[1] withmidfielder Chris Kamara andforward Keith Cassells leaving before the beginning of the season andcaptain Terry Hurlock would later be sold for a club-record £95,000 fee in February 1986.^[2]Goalkeeper Trevor Swinburne anddefender Paul Roberts were released and the mid-season retirement of goalscoringwinger Gary Roberts also compounded the break-up of the team.^[2] McLintock re-signed bit-part goalkeeperRichard Key and midfielderTerry Bullivant onfree transfers and also brought in 20-year-oldcentre back Terry Evans fromnon-league Hillingdon, a transfer which would go on to be an important contributor the club's success in the early 1990s.^[2]

The 1985–86 season proved to be one of consolidation in theThird Division for Brentford, with the team briefly challenging for promotion in August and for a three-month period in late 1985, but otherwise being rooted in mid-table.^[3] There was little cheer to be had in the cup competitions,^[3] but manager Frank McLintock was able to make some incoming mid-season transfers, bringing in midfielderAndy Sinton for a £25,000 fee and loaning wingersSteve Burke andIan Holloway fromQueens Park Rangers andWimbledon respectively.^[4] ForwardFrancis Joseph, top scorer during the1982–83 season, returned from a long injury layoff in April 1986 and boosting the attack,^[4] which had been led alone byRobbie Cooke.^[5] Brentford finished the season in 10th place, with an away record superior to that of at Griffin Park.^[6]
