Sir Trevor Brooking is a legend of the game - but who are the best players he has ever played alongside?
RIGHT WING - Mick Channon: On the other side, it has to be Mick Channon with his windmill celebration whenever he scored. He was a really strong character who loved nothing better than scoring. He moaned and groaned about things off the pitch but he's someone you'd really want in your team on it. STRIKER - Geoff Hurst: One has to be Geoff Hurst. I joined the club in '65 and made my debut in '67 up at Burnley, who were a really good side in those days. We drew 3-3 and I'll always remember that the three goalscorers for us were Moore, Peters and Hurst, which was pretty good. Geoff had that ability to chest the ball and shield it. He was also very good at attacking crosses. STRIKER - Kevin Keegan: The England nickname I had was down to Kevin. We had six or seven Liverpool lads and at that stage, there was a TV show on called 'Hadleigh' with a guy called Gerald Harper. He was a noble English gentleman and that became my nickname. Kev was fantastic, a bubbly character and a great captain.
