WEST Ham United legend Sir Trevor Brooking is coming to Stanford-le-Hope as he gives fans the chance to question him on a long and successful career.

The former Hammers midfielder is visiting The Old Regent Ballroom, in Corringham Road, to speak about his life in the game and will be joined by fellow West Ham favourite Tony Gale.

Brooking made 530 appearances for West Ham, with Gale turning out 366 times for the Hammers and the two are sure to bring out a strong crowd.

GNO Events are staging the evening and group owner Stephen Bull said he was pleased to be able to bring such a high profile guest to the area.

“I am really excited to be able to confirm the booking of Sir Trevor Brooking as he does not do many of these events,” said Bull, of the current Director of Football Development in England. “He is rumoured to be the favourite to take over the top job at the FA so this may be one of the last that he is able to do.

“Tony Gale is hosting and we expect him to bring out a side to Sir Trevor that people do not often see.

“The event has already sold 75 per cent of the tickets so I expect it to be a complete sell out.”

Tickets for the event on Friday, April 22 cost £22 and are available to purchase from the venue by calling 07884 496 361 or 07935 254 954.

Tickets can also be purchased online at billetto.co.uk/sir-Trevor-Brooking. There are also a small number of sponsorship packages available. For details email greatnightoutevents@gmail.com
