Brooking, 60, joins fellow former West Ham players such as Bobby Moore, Sir Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Jimmy Greaves and Teddy Sheringham, along with George Cohen, Cliff Bastin, Frank McLintock, Ossie Ardiles, George Best and Gianfranco Zola. Sir Trevor said: 'It was a wonderful surprise and a great honour to hear I have been voted into the National Football museum Hall of Fame. 'To be selected by a panel led buy my heroes Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Tom Finney is very special. I am particularly delighted to be joining my West Ham team-mates Bobby Moore, Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters, along with England team-mate Kevin Keegan.' Keegan was chosen by a panel that also included Gary Lineker and PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor. Brooking grew up as a West Ham supporter and after leaving Ilford County High School moved to Upton Park where he went on to make 635 first team appearances in a 19-year spell. Brooking, who has acted as caretaker manager at West Ham, won 47 caps for England and is now the Football Association's Director of Football Development.
