Season summary

After narrowly avoiding relegation towards the end of the 1938–39 season,[1] Brentford manager Harry Curtis allowed full back Joe Wilson and half backs Sam Briddon and Tally Sneddon to transfer away from the club.[2][3] Curtis signed young Sunderland inside forward Percy Saunders and brought in former Manchester United wing half Tom Mansley as his new captain.[4] The season opened with a heavy 5–1 Football League Jubilee Fund defeat to neighbours Chelsea on 19 August 1939.[5] Brentford began the regular season with a win, a draw and a defeat, before competitive football was suspended following Britain's declaration of war on Germany on 3 September 1939.[6] Percy Saunders, who had scored on his debut on the opening day,[6] would be the only pre-war Brentford player to die on active service during the war, when his ship was torpedoed in the Indian Ocean in March 1942.[7]

The cessation of competitive football was worrying for Brentford, with £12,000 having been spent on new players during the off-season (equivalent to £791,500 in 2023) and there was little prospect of recouping it through the turnstiles.[5] 23 of Brentford's 30-man squad were called to arms, into the War Police Reserve or into the munitions industry.[5] Within two weeks of the declaration of war, the Football League agreed that football could continue, in order to keep clubs in business and to raise funds.[5]

Brentford entered Group B of the new Football League South in October 1939.[8] The squad was augmented by three guest players who had previously played for the club – Scottish half backs Duncan McKenzie and Archie Scott and inside forward Bert Stephens.[8] 30-year old centre forward Jack Holliday (a prolific goalscorer in the Third and Second Divisions between 1932 and 1935) experienced a renaissance, with 14 goals in 16 appearances.[8] Brentford finished the Group B campaign in mid-table.[9]

A further 18-match campaign followed in Group C in the first six months of 1940, with 13 players guesting, including two former international Brentford players – Scotland's David McCulloch and the United States' Jim Brown.[8] The Bees finished 4th in the 10-team group and exited the Football League War Cup in the first round.[8]
