West Ham legend Sir Trevor Brooking meets fans in Romford

Sir Trevor Brooking met fans at Romford Shopping Hall in Market Place yesterday (November 18) at the Worldwide Signings Memorabilia outlet.

He spent most of his career at West Ham United, making 647 appearances for the east London club, and won the 1975 and 1980 FA Cup, scoring the winning goal in the latter.

Fans were delighted to meet Sir Trevor, one of whom was Andy Brace, owner of Worldwide Signings, who welcomed him to his store.

Here a fan came prepared with a vintage Hammers kit with the iconic "Wembley 1980" lettering.

Usually in trademark claret and blue, this Hammers shirt is predominately white but remains a fan favourite due to the club's FA Cup success.
