By long serving.. Loyal.. Wholehearted..
Greatest players.. Brooking had class about him for sure.. Bonds as a player wasn't a great footballer.. But was great in every other way.
DEVO.. Payet.. and Di Canio were the best footballers I've seen in claret and blue.. So far.
Berkovic and Porfirio were good on the eye an all.. Brady and his lovely left peg was sublime..

One thing Brooking did that annoys me - the way he used to get let the ball run and do the work.
I'm still trying to emulate it, and fuck it up every time...

Still has that poise and class. Remaining in his seat at Burnley showed that.

At first glance I read this as "Trevor Brooking's funeral." As you were.

It was both him and Bonzo that turned out for them.
I used to keep a West Ham scrapbook back then and I stuck in a story from the Express about it. Titled "Sometimes on a Sunday" it had a large photo of the two of them playing for HN.
Although Sir Trev is for all intents and purposes a one-club man he did make three professional appearances for other clubs after he left us. One (paid) guest appearance for non-league Blue Star and two for Cork City.

I was in the North Bank for the Everton game. Don't remember much about the game, but the celebration after was superb.

Lost 1-0 I think, had the pleasure to be there. Difficult to choose between Trevor and Bonzo. Probably the best way is to say they brought the best out of each other especially when both played in midfield. A real tribute to Alan Dev was that Trev retired a year earlier than he would have done because Dev was injured for the season. Brooking, Bonds, Dev, what we would give to have those three now!

It is always between Bonds and Brooking as to who the greatest Hammer is as far as I am concerned Brooking made things happen for West ham he was skilful for such a big guy his feet were deceptively quick and his passing sublime he glided past players with great posture and elegance and that 1980 FA cup goal will cement him as probably the best player West ham ever had .
Absolutely love the bloke just as I do Bonds.

Re: Trevor Brooking's farewell

yeah i think we lost...
..."Having received a dressing down, Brooking began to get changed out of his kit for the final time, but then there was a knock on the door from Chairman Len Cearns.
“He looked at John, then he looked at me. ‘Sorry John,” he said, ‘but the crowd won’t go home until Trevor goes out and says goodbye’. So I put my gear back on and went onto the pitch amid great cheering.
“I ran around the pitch, waving to the crowd and picking up the scarves they threw at me. It was an amazing and emotional experience, but what surprised me more than anything was that it seemed virtually everyone in the stadium had stayed behind to bid their farewells.
“Quite unforgettable. I was lapping it up while the rest of my teammates were getting a rollicking from the manager!”

Nice one .
Catch it at 47.51 gets a knock down controls the ball & looks up twice all nearly in the same second then plays a soft pass right making the number 4 look like a statue.
Best we ever had.

if Trev had scored the North Bank roof would have come off, he was winding up a shot but the Everton defender nicked the ball away...
