Jay Tabb, Brentford, 154 appearances (24 goals); Ipswich Town, 86 appearances (5 goals)
Released by Crystal Palace for being too small, Jay crossed London in 2000 to join Ron Noades’ side as a 16-year-old. After making only a handful of appearances in his first three years with The Bees, Jay made his breakthrough under Wally Downes during the 2003/04 season, scoring 11 times in 40 appearances as Brentford avoided relegation on the final day of the season. He played a key role the next two seasons as Brentford reached the Play-Offs under Martin Allen both times. After leaving Brentford in 2006 Jay spent time with Coventry City and Reading before signing for The Tractor Boys in 2013. He was a key part of the side which reached the Play-Offs in 2014/15, playing 40 times, but was deemed surplus to requirements by Mick McCarthy and released this summer.
Tom Garneys, Brentford, 12 appearances (2 goals); Ipswich Town, 274 appearances (143 goals)
Garneys was discarded by Brentford after just 12 league matches but would go on to break Ipswich Town’s individual scoring record. Signed for Brentford by Jackie Gibbons in December 1949, Garneys managed just two goals in 12 matches before leaving for Ipswich Town 18 months later. There he netted 19 goals in the 1953/54 Division Three (South) promotion season but his tally of 20 goals in 24 matches wasn’t enough to prevent relegation a year later. He helped Ipswich regain their place in the top two divisions in 1957 before retiring a year later with 123 league goals in 248 matches to his name, a number only surpassed three times since.
Stephen Hunt, Brentford, 160 appearances (31 goals); Ipswich Town, 43 appearances (0 goals)
A real fans' favourite for his energy, work-rate, and skill Stephen made his name at Griffin Park in the early part of the last decade. In his first season he was an almost ever present as The Bees lost out to Stoke City in the Play-Off final before netting double figures in the next two seasons as Brentford pulled off The Great Escape in 2004 and made the Play-Offs in 2005. His final season was blighted by injury before a move to Premier League bound Reading in 2005. Stephen joined Ipswich in November 2013 and spent 18 months at Portman Road as The Tractor Boys finished ninth and sixth in the Sky Bet Championship. The 35-year-old is currently without a club after leaving Sky Bet League One side Coventry City in the summer.
Jordan Rhodes, Brentford 14 appearances (7 goals); Ipswich Town, 10 appearances (1 goal)
Jordan began his career in East Anglia and made his debut, aged 17, in a 0-0 draw against Burnley at Portman Road in December 2007. His first, and only goal in Ipswich colours, arrived during a 1-1 draw at home to Cardiff City at the end of the 2007/08 season. Opportunities dried up the following season and Jordan joined Andy Scott's title-chasing Bees in January 2009. He netted on his home debut in a 3-0 win over Aldershot Town before announcing himself to Bees fans with a 27 minute, perfect hat-trick away at Shrewsbury Town four days later. His seven goals in 14 games brought Brentford to the brink of promotion before a broken toe ended his spell at Griffin Park. After being deemed surplus to requirements by Roy Keane, Rhodes joined Huddersfield Town in the summer of 2009 where he scored 86 goals in 147 games before moving onto Blackburn Rovers and latterly Middlesbrough.
Marcus Bent, Brentford 91 appearances (13 goals); Ipswich Town 70 appearances (23 goals)
The athletic striker came through the ranks at Griffin Park in the mid-1990s and made his debut against Shrewsbury Town in November 1995, aged just 17. Marcus netted four goals in 18 appearances during his first season but better was to come the following campaign as he made 45 appearances on The Bees way to the Play-Offs. The Hammersmith-born forward was a near ever-present the following season until he joined Premier League Crystal Palace in January. After spells in the North West with Port Vale, Sheffield United, and Blackburn Rovers, Marcus returned South to join top-flight side Ipswich in 2001. Nine goals in 25 games couldn't maintain The Tractor Boys's Premier League status as they dropped into the Championship. He scored 11 league goals the following season as Town narrowly missed out on the Play-Offs before financial issues saw him loaned out to Leicester City for his final year in East Anglia.
