1950–51 Brentford F.C. season

During the 1950–51 English football season, Brentford competed in the Football League Second Division. Amidst a period of transition, the Bees repeated the previous season's 9th-place finish.

Season summary
international inside forward Peter Broadbent departed Griffin Park for a £10,000 fee in February 1951. Jackie Gibbons' Brentford began the 1950–51 season with Billy Dare as the only recognised goalscorer on the club's books. The squad was augmented by young forward Bernard Kelly and former Blackpool right half Ken Horne replaced the retired Malky MacDonald. Aside from four wins in a row in August and September 1950, Brentford had a torrid first half of the season and fell to just one place above relegation by mid-November. Injuries and constant tinkering meant manager Gibbons had been unable to field a settled XI. Fred Monk, Billy Sperrin and Billy Dare scored regularly from mid-January 1951 through to the end of the season and helped the team secure a second-successive 9th-place finish. Monk set a new club record when he scored in 10 consecutive matches between February and April 1951. ==League table==
