Drummond

I met a guy today, who said his father played for the Bees a few times during the 2nd world war, whilst home from active service. The guys name was Drummond.

Anyone know where I could possibly find out more info?
 

Drummond

It's possible. I don't have the stats to hand but will check tonight. He may have played for the nursery side Twickenham AFC...

I suspect that we played lots of guests during the war when passing servicemen would often get a game and fill in. Wonder if he was one of them and whether detailed records were kept.
 

Drummond

As we were in the top flight at the time, there's quite detailed records available for first team games. I'll have a look tonight.

i've looked through programmes of mine from that period (1939-1945 i have quite a good home collection from these years) and a 'Drummond' has not been mentioned playing for the 'First Team'. Brentford did have Reserve, Amateur (Acton United) and Junior (Twickenham) sides during the War and he could've played for one of those sides. Some names from these sides were mentioned but not yours. Plus there were numerous 'Guest' players too, inc Frank Soo, Doherty, Woodley etc etc.

I'm sure if a 'Drummond' did play 'markbfc' will know!
 

Drummond

Yes, I've had a check and he did not play a first team game but as Paul said, there's nothing to see he didn't play for either Acton, Twickenham or the reserves during that period.

Let us know how the bloke takes it, his world will fall apart lol

Well thanks for trying.


This was information offered to me, he knew nothing of my Brentford fixation. I will do the diplomatic thing and ask for more info. It is possible his pa had a different name; the guy did have a rather disjointed upbringing.
