Now in a special segment for Sky Sports Frank has sent Woody a personal message thanking the Bees super-fan, who has Down Syndrome, for his support.

In the video, available on YouTube, Frank said: "Hi Woody, thank you so much for your support, it means the world to me, to us, to Brentford that you support us and cheer us on.

"It was fantastic to see you on Friday night and we will do everything we can to continue this journey together."
