Now available from shop.brentfordfc.com, your Brentford v Bournemouth match programme includes an in-depth interview with Bees head of coaching Justin Cochrane.
Cochrane knew he wanted to become a coach before his professional career had even started, after he and a friend put an advert in the local paper and started a team from scratch.
“I was actually a coach before I was a player. I started coaching properly at 17, when I started a local team,” he told club journalist Adam Goodwin.
“I was working with a local grassroots team that I created and that was the foundation in terms of me learning how to coach, learning how to interact, and learning how to help players get better at football.
“I was running that team when I was still in the academy set-up and the reserves as a player.
“I always knew that once football had ended, I had a passion for coaching and a passion for helping young people to achieve their full potential."
To celebrate the return of the castle crest on our 2022/24 second kit, we’ll be speaking with those who wore it best the first time around.
Next up is Chris Kamara, who played at Griffin Park between 1981 and 1985 and has since become a mainstay on our TV screens.
He became the first Black player to play for the Bees in the Football League, something he describes as a 'real honour'.
“I'll forever have that accolade and I’m dead proud of it,” Kamara recalled during a conversation with Dan Long.
“I have to say, I didn't know that was the case until I read about it in Middlesex Chronicle. And you wouldn’t have known I was the first Black player to play for the club, either.
“I remember all my debuts from throughout my career and, when my name got read out against Burnley, I got a decent cheer from the crowd.
"Not a big cheer, because they didn't know me that well, but there were no dissenting voices, which normally suggests that one or two people are not happy about your colour. That was a real honour."
