Hammers name stand after Brooking
Mon 20 Jul, 12:09 PM
West Ham have named a stand at Upton Park after former midfielder Sir Trevor Brooking.
The Centenary Stand will be formally re-named when West Ham play Napoli in a pre-season friendly on August 8.
Brooking, 60, was born in Barking and spent his whole career at West Ham, making 635 appearances for the club between 1965 and 1984.
"It is obviously a terrific honour which I am very grateful for because this is my club. It will be my club forever," said Brooking, who is now the director of football development at the Football Association.
"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."
Uncle says: Great gesture for a great West Ham player, great sportsman, and nice guy
