Too true . I can still remember cringing when his name was read out instead of Gerry Cakebreads ! Ashley may have been Fred's "love child " however ?!

Just met Ashley Bayes today. A cracking fella with nothing but good words about his time at Brentford and the reception he got when he played against us. Some interesting comments about how him and the young players got looked after by Terry Evans and Benno at the time.

Please expand. I suspect he was hung out to dry a bit and not really supported, a bit "sink or swim". Hopefully I am incorrect but not too many kids came through to the first team in the late 80s/early 90s and kept their place.
 

Ashley Bayes

Yes, he confirmed that he was cacking himself when he got thrown on. But he holds great memories of Brentford. Said he left so he could get to play.
Said that the older players did their best to help them, especially on nights out!!!!
Said that he was invited to the BRB but it coincided with another do he had to go to, but said that he would love to have met up with Benno, Terry Evans, and Deano.
And he really really rates Button.

Re-visited that a moment ago. I think the Leyton Orient save was better than I thought but the Luton one...it is no better nearly three decades on. Shame the Preston 'kick' did not get an airing.

That Loo Town one was from a Chris Kamara cross.

Couldn't believe that myself.
 

Ashley Bayes

He always seemed to play in League or FA Cup matches eg Brighton, Gillingham and Spurs

In the text of the Wiki article it says 12 appearances, so some internal consistency required...

Early career
Bayes began his career as an apprentice at Brentford, and progressed through the youth ranks at Griffin Park, making his Football League debut on 20 March 1990 in a home game against Preston North End. He signed his first professional contract on 5 July later that year. He was affectionately known by fans as "The Flying Pig". ;) However, Bayes went on to make only three further league appearances over the next three seasons and was released at the end of the 1992–93 season.[3] He made 12 appearances for Brentford in all competitions, including in an away League Cup fixture against Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

One I'll never forget.

Came flying out of his area, completely missed the ball, and PNE scored.

Thanks - I never realised that.

Let's be honest it is the Bayes element that is most memorable. It was an odd ball in though.

It was a cross.

Was behind Ealing road goal when he let in the one against spurs. Completely deflated the whole occasion as he should never have let it squirm through.

I didn’t sleep well last night. Sure it was due to remembering this guy. Nightmares.

I had a brandy last night to help give me Dutch courage to watch the footage of the Spurs game.

1. First goal. 20 yarder from Anderson which he dived too late for, but good hit.

2. Second goal he was sold short by Millen and brought down the striker for a clear penalty.

3. He almost dropped a simple lob into the goalmouth behind him into the goal but just recovered.

4. Third goal he came out to smother a simple through goal and got up but forgot to bring the ball with him which he dropped and left Turner with an open goal.

A Total Nonsense.

Absolutely.

Even more worrying was when Blissett went in goal and he was on the Ealing Road retracing coaching him
 

Ashley Bayes

Ah. It was number 4 that I remember. I suspect I recall it because it was the moment all hope went
