Brentford history
Nicknamed the Bees, Brentford formed in 1889 and played as amateurs before entering the London League in 1896. Back-to-back runner-up finishes earned a place in the Southern League by 1898, and the club joined the Football League in 1920. Griffin Park was home from 1904 until the 2020 move to the current stadium.
Its strongest era came not long after it joined the Football League. Brentford won the Third Division South in 1932-33, the Second Division in 1934-35, and placed fifth in the First Division in 1935-36, still the club's best league finish. Three relegations later, it was in the Fourth Division by 1962. Promotions and drops kept coming for decades, including titles in the Fourth Division in 1962-63, the Third Division in 1991-92 and League Two in 2008-09.
