West Ham honour Brooking with renamed stand

Sir Trevor, 60, was born in Barking and spent his whole career at West Ham, making 635 appearances for the club between 1965 and 1984.

He helped the Irons win the FA Cup twice, heading the winner in their 1-0 Wembley defeat of Arsenal in 1980.

Sir Trevor had a stint as a BBC pundit after retiring before going on to carve out a successful career as a sports administrator. He is currently director of football development at the Football Association.

But he has never lost his close ties to his only senior club and is a regular at home games. He even managed the side in 2003 when Glenn Roeder was seriously ill, although he could not prevent the Hammers relegation from the Premier League.

Sir Trevor said: "It is obviously a terrific honour which I am very grateful for because this is my club. It will be my club forever.

"The great thing was being able to spend my whole career with West Ham, having a stint as caretaker manager and as a director and then going to the FA."
