Jim, Do you know if the (now legendary)Jack Lane who is immortalised in the tomes of one R.Rankin played for Brentford? In the Brentford books his pub is referred to as Jack Lane's but he used to be the proprietor of The Royal Hourseguardsman on the Ealing rd.in reality.From what I can gather, he was a bit of a local celebrity and his funeral was attended by many in the parish. I seem to remember someone saying he used to turn out for the Bees
