The cup tie against Everton and a 5-0 stuffing of Sunderland stick in the mind. He was exciting to watch and i remember hiow pissed off people were when we sold him- for good money- to Celtic. I don't suppose many would have him in their all-time eleven but on his day he was great to watch.

Gutted that Devo never got the chance to say goodbye. IMHO, the most consistent and effective player that has ever pulled on a West Ham shirt.

Trev's last game was a midweek game in May '84 against an Everton side due to play Watford in the Cup Final the following Saturday. We lost 1-0 but hardly seemed to care as the crowd cheered Trev's every touch and sang 'One Trevor Brooking' almost constantly (or so it seemed!). There were 25,000 there in the days when our average was in the mid to high teens. I was 14 years old and watched from the chicken run with my big sister. Trev came out for his lap of honour to find that nobody had left the ground and received a standing ovation from every corner, including the Everton fans. He was carried shoulder high back to the tunnel. A very emotional evening and one I'll always remember as Trev is my all-time hero You’re correct Mark.

At the end of the game he came back out for a lap of honour (wearing what looked suspiciously like a pair of Dunlop Green Flash) and there was a feeling that it was the end of an era.
