Sir Trevor Brooking is a household name in football, but his journey isn’t without its troubles. From an injury that almost sidelined him for good, to the heat he took for trying to fix English football. Here is Sir Brooking for y’all like never before!

Sir Trevor Brooking, born on October 2, 1948, is a former England footballer and a well-known figure in football management and punditry. Nowadays, he’s heavily involved in developing football in England as a director.
Brooking's journey began in Barking, where he was born to Margaret and Henry, a police officer. He was a bright student, finishing school with good grades, and was a football enthusiast from a young age, attending his first West Ham game at nine. Though he had options to join other clubs, he chose West Ham, where he stayed on to complete his studies.
Brooking made his debut for West Ham in 1967 and quickly became an essential player. Despite a serious ankle injury in 1969 that almost ended his career early, he bounced back and secured his spot on the team, especially after some older players left.
