Charlie Joe Ide (born 10 May 1988, Sunbury-on-Thames) is an English footballer currently playing for Grays Athletic in the Conference National.
Ide is a striker who made his debut in a 2-1 win over Hull in May 2005. He had loan spells at Slough Town towards the end of the 2005-06 season and at Sutton United the following 2006-07 season. He was recalled from his loan spell at Sutton and soon found himself in Brentford's first team. He scored his first professional goal against Tranmere in December 2006 and continued his good form by scoring both goals in the 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient the following month. It was in this game where he earned the nickname of 'The Squirrel', when at a Brentford corner a squirrel turned up on the pitch and ran the length of The New Road Stand, play was delayed, and when restarted Ide scored from the resulting corner.
Ide was generally played on the right wing in the 2006-07 season, yet still managed 7 goals in 26 league games.
On May 30, 2007, despite reported interest from higher division clubs, Ide signed a new two-year deal with Brentford, with the option of a further year.
When Brentford manager Terry Butcher was sacked in December 2007 Ide was quoted as saying he had never heard of the former England captain before his appointment at Griffin Park. Both Ide and sources at Brentford later refuted this claim.
Ide was sent on loan to Conference South side Lewes for the final three months of the 2007-08 season, after failing to regain his place in the Brentford first team following injury.
He was not tendered a new contract by Brentford manager Andy Scott following the season's end.[1] On 22 May 2008, Grays Athletic announced that Ide had signed a one-year deal with the Conference National team.
