- Birth nameTrevor David Brooking
- Trevor Brooking was born on October 2, 1948 in Barking, London, England, UK. He is an actor, known for Match of the Day Live: UEFA Cup (1997), Pro Evolution Soccer 5 (2005) and Pro Evolution Soccer 2 (2002).
- Former England international footballer and TV pundit.
- He was awarded the C.B.E. (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1999 Queen's New Years Honours List for his services to sports.
- Took over as Caretaker manager of West Ham United at the end of the 2002/03 season, winning 2 out of 3 games and drawing the other, unfortunately, it wasn't enough to keep West Ham in the Premiership and they were relegated after a 2-2 draw with Birmingham on the last day of the season. He took over again as Caretaker Manager after the club sacked their regular manager, Glenn Roeder, at the start of 2003/04 season in the Championship. He won 3 out of 5 games under this spell but lost his last game in charge of the club before Alan Pardew took over.
- He was awarded the M.B.E. (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1981 Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to sports.
- He was awarded the Knight Bachelor of the Order of the British Empire in the 2004 Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to Sport. He is Director of Football Development, English Football Association.
- The top half-dozen clubs go overseas, and will continue to do so while less than 40 per cent of the players in the Premier League are English. They feel those managers have the knowledge to bring overseas players in. I can understand why the clubs do it, but it becomes a vicious circle.
