   As a Brentford supporter since the 1950/60’s the best player I ever saw plsy for them was Johnny Brooks. Absolutely brilliant player. Ball control and shooting ability etc..

   I totally agree and went through all the other top names I remember from the days of Johnny Brooks and John Dick onwards. It is Jota’s selflessness, hard work and flair that make him unique.

   I agree, especially your last bit. As the immediate future looks great for the club, and next season looks full of promise going for playoffs or even better, why would Jota, Harlee, and even Judgey not want to be part of it. Just look how great next season could be.

   I have supported Brentford since the70s. There is no doubt that King J is our most talented player since then,a delight to watch and a gentleman with it. Royalty resides at Griffin Park

   Yo must pick the players you have seen and those mentioned were good players but should be judged in the context that they played on the old 3rd division.
   I have watched since 1937 and without doubt the best player we ever had was Archie Macauly in 1947. It was not the best team Brentford fielded but Archie was a Sottish international and at the end of the season played for Great Britain versus the rest of the world which we won.
   Unfortunately he then was transferred to Arsenal, and we were relegated.
   Now 70 years on we are on the way back.

   Back to the olden days again folk I am afraid but I must mention Tommy Lawton.
   Not in his prime with the Bees but probably the best centre forward England ever had.

   Estimado Señor Lane

   Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con que Jota es el mejor jugador de la historia del club. Además, Jessica es la mejor ‘WAG’. No he visto a un jugador más querido en mis 42 años como hincha.

   Atentamente

   I can’t agree that players of today are better because of the advances in training.medicine and coaching from a young age. They must be judged in context?
   In the old days players had to contend with bad pitches,leather balls,big heavy boots etc. the skills where there alright.to mention Stan Mathews, Len Shackleton,Tom Finney. On modern day conditions they would still excel.
   This is not to decry present day players they are excellent from what I see and here and let us get more of them to Brentford.

    Dear Mr Lane

    As a fan of 42 years, I cannot remember a more loved player then Jota. I remember when he returned from injury (cheers Mr ‘I didn’t mean it’ Douglas,) I remember when he returned from Eibar, the ovations were incredible. Never known it with any other Bees player and we have had some legends.

    The affection towards Jota is something else.

    Regards

    Gordon
