Does anybody care that Trevor was born on the same day as a fashion designer? I think the relevance needs to be explained, or that part removed.

[edit] Midfielder

It should be pointed out that Brooking played in midfield for both West Ham and England, and was most famous for this.

However he did start off as a centre forward in his early days at WHU.

[edit] Cork City

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Putting references in from a subscription newspaper (ie to which you have to pay to see) goes against WP:CITE where it states under 'Why sources should be cited'.....To ensure that the content of articles can be checked by any reader or editor. I can't find any other references for this other than BEBO!. Perhaps it is part of a hoax. If it isn't the references need to be available to ANY reader.--Egghead06 (talk) 15:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

No maybe about it. Cork's official site's link now provided. Why would anyone make it up? Anymore changes will be vandalism.

You can consider it what you wish - it's not your call. All you have done is provide a link to Cork's official site which does not mention Brooking. Your original references are not verifiable by ANY reader perhaps you would like to provide some?--Egghead06 (talk) 15:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
