Sir Trevor David Brooking CBE (born 2 October 1948 in Barking, London) is a football player turned manager, on-air analyst, and administrator. Brooking attended Ripple Infants School and left Ilford County High School with 11 O-levels and 2 A-levels.

He was appointed an MBE in 1981, a CBE in 1999 and knighted in 2004. Since retiring from playing, he has taken up a number of positions in broadcasting and administration.

He is chiefly associated with West Ham United, having played as an attacking midfield player and centre forward between 1967 and 1984, making 636 appearances and scoring 103 times, wearing the number 10 jersey. He won the FA Cup twice, in 1975 and 1980; in the latter, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win over Arsenal with a header.

Brooking played for England 47 times, scoring 5 goals. However, he only played in major tournaments twice. At Euro 1980 in Italy he played in England's opening game against Belgium (drawn 1–1), but was dropped for the second game versus Italy (lost 1–0). He was re-instated to the starting eleven against Spain and scored England's first goal in a 2–1 win. Due to injury World Cup 1982 was to see him limited to playing as a substitute against Spain. England needed to win to qualify for the semi-final but were held to a 0–0 draw by the host nation Spain.

Gerrard first captained his country at the 2010 World Cup in the absence of regular captain Rio Ferdinand, who missed the tournament through injury. He was named again as England captain for the Euro 2012.
