The 20-year-old made his debut for the squad this week in a 3-2 win over Erith & Belvedere FC.

The 47-year-old wasn't bothered by the weather and wore a low-key raincoat and beamed with pride the entire time Romeo was on the field.

Meanwhile, David would have been delighted to hear Brentford boss Neil MacFarlane praise the young midfielder.

Neil said: “Romeo really drove us forward in the wing back position.

“He created some really good moments for us with some terrific deliveries. He had an opportunity to score as well and I was thrilled with him and the group in general for keeping on the front foot. We never gave up and we got through."
