NO. 15- BRENTFORD
CLUB MAKES A DISCOVERY
(By CHARLES BUCHAN)
Brentford have now entered the upper class of football. Before they have kicked a ball in the First Divi- sion they are discovering a difference. When they go in quest of a player the transfer fee is in thousands where previously it had been in hundreds. An inside forward of experience is Brentford's objective but the obstacle in the transfer fee demanded for the player they want. Still, Brentford are not worrying they are content to rely mainly upon the players who have carried them from the Southern See- tion to the First Division in two years, These men will be given the oppor- tunity to make good in their new com- pany.
New players engaged include Dunn, a contre-forward from Glasgow Celtic: Wilson, the Southend centre- half: Marley, the Leytonstone right haif-back; Lynch, a goalkeeper from Yeovil; and Sullivan, a 10-year-old Rochdale winger, non of the old Sur- rey wicket-keeper, but they must await their chances.
