West Ham legend to have stand named after him

West Ham have named a stand at Upton Park after former midfielder Sir Trevor Brooking. The Centenary Stand will be formally renamed when West Ham play Napoli in a pre-season friendly on August 8.

"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."
