Neil Lennon to do a pre match question and answer in fan zone tomorrow

 

Fair play to the chap in getting fans on side but would his time not be better spent with the players??

Dread to think the quality of the questions....

 

Hope it doesn't put him off

 

Edit: oh and in the warm up time - last couple of hours before the immediate pre-match team talk etc, the Manager normally has very little to do with the players anyway

I'm struggling to name a Brentford player past or present.

 

Bill Slater - Clitheroe's greatest footballer,

last amateur to play in an FA Cup Final (well he was playing for Blackpool at the time),

Olympic footballer in 1952,

captained Wolves to FA Cup victory in 1960 (when a Blackburn player suffered a broken leg),

played for Brentford before and after Wolves,

and his daughter is Director of BBC Sport (although when I had a long train journey from Swansea with him she was a 9 year-old gymnast).
