Was back again on Sunday according to the S*n (won't post the link) - a "surprise visitor", in fact. He's also the very last name on the Wall of Fame on the North Stand.
Noticed recently there is a Michelle Ackerley on the Wall of Fame, the name of a BBC presenter, coincidence?

Driving home from work, listening to Radio 6, they played somebody I didn't know (I don't half of the Radio 6 playist!) called Daniel Avery. Checking the GPG FF league just now, I notice a namesake near the top of the table. Any link?

Krishnan GuruMurthy on Who wants to be a millionaire just now. Didn’t know Craven Cottage was closer to Wembley than Molineux??
not sure if he has a ST but he was in front of me in the queue for food in legends lounge at half time at the Man united match the other week

Doesn't look like it from a three minute google and two mins on facebook. But I could well be wrong.

Few high-profile supporters in the states after Dan Tana's passing and as those from his circuit lost interest. KTLA anchor-reporter Frank Buckley loves the Bees. There's also an (American) football commentator, but I forget his name. End list.

Eric Knowles was at the game on Saturday… but I guess he’s not that famous and, being a Lancastrian, almost certainly a Burnley supporter, so he doesn’t qualify at all!

Was he real? Did you pick him up and check for a red rose on his bottom?
He was with someone and their conversation was quite loud, inviting others in the lift to join in with his ‘witticisms’, using a stronger accent than on Antiques Roadshow. I think he was genuine, with his cracks and all.

Never heard of him, which made @JANORAK’s comment read quite oddly until I read the clue in your subsequent post!

This may have been listed before but the Wikipedia entry for Jo Coburn the ex BBC political reporter states she supports Brentford FC.
what were you doing on Jo Coburn's wikipedia page?

A real top-tier one for you: Chris Grace, who played Jerry in US comedy Superstore and features in various Blood On The Clocktower streams on YouTube is a Bees fan.

Nope, new one on me.

What is this "YouTube" people are talking about these days?

Whatever happened to Leo Sayer in our premier years? Lower league fan only???

I once saw Leo walking his dog in Central London about 30 years ago

Think this was a Forest game. So you never know what will happen at the next home game.

Is Leo Sayer being escorted off for a pitch invasion violation?!

His great song "Orchard Road" actually refers to Churchfield Road, Acton, just 3 miles from Brentford.
It’s about a phone conversation he had with his wife, when they were going through difficulties.

The song was called Orchard Road instead because of sounding better musically/lyrically than Churchfield Road.

Regularly seen in his heyday (70s/80s?), shopping in Bentalls. That might have been disproportionate though, as Mrs J used to work there! Never thought of him as a BEE at the time…

Another anecdote to mull over is that I used to work at a printers down Churchfield Road, didn't see Leo in the phone box though :sneakoff:

I've noticed recently that the former Eastenders actress and Strictly star Molly Rainford liking some of BFC's insta posts and they follow each other :unsure:
Her dad is our Academy director (David Rainford).
