Many thanks for your kind words about my Dad. He will be greatly missed but at the same time we as a family are glad he is no longer in pain.
I think it is fair to say that my Dad’s interest in football waned over the last few years mainly due to the politics in and around the game (something that is obviously in the news headlines at the moment), but he never lost his love for Brentford.
On a personal note my Dad succumbed to pancreatic cancer one of the cancers with the lowest survival rates and fewest treatments. There is currently a petition set up as the Government’s cancer fund has stopped funding abraxane one of drugs that was used to treat my Dad. It would be great if every Brentford supporter could sign this petition please to help reach the target of 150,000 signatures.

My dad died just over a year ago from the same wretched condition. Glad you mentioned the petitiin. Stay strong and it will gradually get easier. Worst time is when we win and play well.
R i p mr lange and thankyou for helping keep this great club afloat.

Dave – fantastic article.
The Lange Family – sincere condolences to you all, the family of a great man who loved Brentford and whose wisdom, loyalty and money underpins where the Club is now. RIP a long standing giant of Brentford FC.
The Play Offs. What a legacy. Few in the long history of the game have left such a big mark on the shape of the sport. Martin is a Brentford legend but also a key figure in the development of the national game.
Every time I met and spoke with him during the 90s he was a real gent, polite, attentive and interested. R.I.P.
Sincere condolences to you and your family. My ex-partner chauffeured your Dad around in the 1980’s and I received a beautiful bouquet on the birth of my son Stevie from himself and Vicky. We have only just heard of his passing. I know it’s not easy losing a loved one but just have happy thoughts of your times together xxx
Martin was my cousin we played together as children. he was a vary successful businessman, i and like Martin i to .love Brentford fc. I’m 85 years old..
I have only just found out about Martins demise some 10 years ago now.
I spent a lot of time working with Martin on some of his property developments and went to the club ground on a few times. The last time a noisy and rude individual was asked by Martin to lower it down and stop the swearing, no response and Martin grabbed him by the collar and marched him out. We played football ourselves beating the FRICS team on Leatherhead’s ground in 1985 I recall. Martin as many have said was a straight and likeable person and a pleasure to work and play with and I am very sad to hear of his loss.
I would like to convey my wishes to Matthew if he reads this, last time I saw him was when we went down to Birdham, Chichester to look at Martins new boat.
