FORMER England and West Ham United midfielder Sir Trevor Brooking is among the guest speakers at the Jersey Football Association’s Centenary dinner this month.

Twice an FA Cup winner, scoring the only goal of the 1980 final against Arsenal at Wembley with a rare header, Sir Trevor will help the JFA celebrate 100 years at the Hotel de France on Saturday 29 October.

Born in 1948 in Barking, Brooking joined the Hammers in 1965 and spent his whole football career with the club, making more than 600 appearances and scoring over 100 goals.

He made his England début in 1974, was capped 47 times and went to the 1982 World Cup in Spain.

He joined BBC Radio and Television two years later and has been a regular on Match of the Day and a host on BBC Five Live.

Brooking was also part of the BBC’s coverage of Euro 96 and Euro 2000, as well as the 1998 World Cup finals in France.

He was awarded the MBE in 1981 and, shortly afterwards, had a road named after him by a local council.

Director Now with the Football Association as their first ever Director of Football Development, his role includes aiming to develop football skills at all levels.

His new FA job meant he had to leave his position as non-executive director at West Ham.

JFA County secretary Gill Morgan said: ‘We are delighted Sir Trevor will be attending our function, I know he is impressed with the development of football in Jersey and although he will be on a short visit he is hoping to visit a couple of clubs and meet with Brian Oliver, our football development officer.

‘Sir Trevor is Director of Football Development for the Football Association and since coming into the post he has made a great effort to visit grass roots football around the country.

This ties in with his visit to Jersey and we are delighted that it coincides with our Centenary dinner.’ Other guests include the Bailiff Sir Philip Bailhache and Commissioner of the Royal Court, Francis Hamon who will also speak.
