Players like him were the reason I gave up supporting Brentford for a while. That and the Crewe game at Wembley.

Good research though

Seems a bit harsh on a guy who was probably low cost and hardly featured for us. Though I think I understand your underlying point that we were at that time signing too many players who weren't remotely good enough - the odd gamble on a non-league player or guy well down the pecking order at a bigger club is OK, but that's all we were getting for a while.

Followed Gus Hurdle into the team iirc. Hurdle was in fact, a far better player for us!

MM came from West Ham I believe, where he was originally a forward. Sadly he showed very little for us & left pretty quickly. Glad to see he has made a good life for himself.

Sad as it seems but all I really remember about McPherson was his sticky out ears.

Maybe that's what held his footballing career back.
