1982–83 Brentford F.C. season

During the 1982–83 English football season, Brentford competed in the Football League Third Division. The high point of a mid-table season was a run to the fourth round of the League Cup, then the furthest the club had then progressed in the competition. The 107 goals scored during the season is a club record.

Season summary
After many failed attempts, Brentford manager Fred Callaghan finally signed what would prove to be a potent strike partnership during the 1982 off-season – Francis Joseph from Wimbledon and Tony Mahoney from Fulham. Goalkeeper David McKellar's contract was terminated after a serious breach of club discipline and he was replaced by former Chelsea goalkeeper Petar Borota. Experienced former Chelsea defender Graham Wilkins arrived on a free transfer. Brentford advanced to the second round of the FA Cup, before suffering a disappointing replay defeat to Fourth Division club Swindon Town. Four club records were set or equalled during the season: • Most goals scored in a season (all competitions): 107 • Record Football League away win: 7–1 versus Exeter City, 23 April 1983 • Most goals scored in an away Football League win: 7 (7–1 versus Exeter City, 23 April 1983) • Three goalscorers with 10 or more goals by Christmas Day (all competitions): Francis Joseph, Gary Roberts, Tony Mahoney == League table ==
