Careerβ»
Brooke was born in Bethnal Green and began his career with Tottenham Hotspur. He spent a year on loan at Swedish side GAIS scoring eight goals in 23 appearances and made his Spurs debut in a 3β2 defeat against West Bromwich Albion. His full debut came in a 4β4 draw with Southampton with Brooke scoring twice. His debut season ended with a substitute appearance in the: 1981 FA Cup Final which saw Tottenham beat Manchester City in a replay. His second season with Spurs saw theββteam again lift the "FA Cup in a replay." But Brooke's place in the side came under threat from Glenn Hoddle and Tony Galvin. He played 33 times in the 1982β83 season scoring nine goals but his run in the side was cut short dueββto a near fatal car crash in February 1983. It took him seven monthsββto regain fitness and "struggled to get back into the side due to his injuries causing him to be," easily short of breath. He played in just seven matches in 1984β85 and was sold to Norwich City.
He never settled at Norwich as he missed London and also did not get on with first team coach Mel Machin. He helped Norwich win the Second Division title in 1985β86 but missed out on a medal as he played 13 matches, "one short of the required 14." After failing to get into the Norwich side in 1986β87 he decided to move to Dutch team Groningen. Brooke enjoyed his time at Groningen as he was given a free role by, the manager Henk van Brussel. He returned to England in August 1988 following the birth of his daughter and decided to sign for Wimbledon. He regretted moving to Wimbledon as he didn't fit in with their direct style of play and moved on loan to Stoke City in March 1990 for the remainder of the 1989β90 season. He played eight matches for Stoke which saw the team draw and lose four matches and ended the season being relegated. He later had short spells with Brentford and Reading, also playing in non-League for Baldock Town, Colchester United, Wivenhoe Town, St Albans City, Romford, Worthing, Cornard United and Braintree Town.
