Josh Dasilva is the feature interview in the matchday programme for Brentford's 2026/27 Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur at Gtech Community Stadium.
The Bees begin their sixth-successive campaign in the top flight with a televised clash against Spurs on Saturday (5.30pm kick-off BST, live on Sky Sports).
In this weekend's programme, Dasilva reflects on the injuries that left him questioning everything, the faith that transformed his life and the long road back to doing what he loves most.
That interview is the first in a series of exclusive Long Read features with Brentford's first-team players and staff that will be included in the new and improved 2026/27 programme, which is available for just £3 once again this season.
