Brentford Football Club are saddened by the news that Fred Durrant passed away Friday afternoon, aged 88. He was the club's oldest living former player.

Signed in 1939 by Harry Curtis from Folkestone Town, Fred made four appearances in the 1946-1947 First Division season, scoring three goals after making many war-time appearances - including four goals in six FA Cup appearances in the transitional season of 1945-1946.

He was transferred to QPR in that season and also played for Exeter City and Dover before running a cafe in the town until his retirement.
