Trevor Brooking

Sir Trevor David Brooking CBE (born 1948 in Barking) is a football player turned manager, pundit and administrator.

He is chiefly associated with West Ham United, having played as a midfielder for the club for his entire playing career, between 1967 and 1984, making 636 appearances and scoring 102 times. He won the FA Cup twice, in 1975 and 1980; in the latter, he scored the only goal with a rare header, in a win over Arsenal.

He also played for England 47 times, scoring 5 goals, though the only time he played in a major tournament was for half an hour, as a substitute against Spain in the 1982 World Cup.

Brooking was one of the most intelligent and cerebral footballers of his generation (he left school with 11 O-levels and 2 A-levels), and had a very clean disciplinary record. Since retiring, he has taken up a number of positions in broadcasting and administration.

In 1984, Brooking joined the BBC as a pundit, and has featured on radio and television commentary since, including the BBC's Match of the Day and coverage of World Cups and European Championships.

Brooking was Chair of the Eastern Region Council for Sport and Recreation from 1987 until 1997, and between 1999 and 2002 he was chairman Sport England. In December 2003, he joined the Football Association as Director of Football Development.

In April 2003, after West Ham manager Glenn Roeder had collapsed due to a brain tumour, Brooking, having long been on the board of West Ham, briefly took over as caretaker manager. The club were fighting relegation from the Premiership, but despite a brave late rallying under Brooking, they still went down, albeit with a record number of points (42) for a relegated team. Brooking also took over as caretaker for a month after Roeder was sacked in September 2003.
