Trevor, now 55, was a one-club player with West Ham United. In 19 years as an elegant midfielder with the Hammers he featured in more than 500 League matches and won The FA Cup twice – in 1975 and 1980.

He was capped 47 times for England from 1974 to 1982, scoring five times. With Ron Greenwood, his former club manager in charge, Trevor influenced a number of crucial matches – above all the World Cup qualifier in Hungary when his shot for the second goal was so firmly struck that it lodged against the stanchion.

After retiring as a player in 1984 he became a broadcaster, a 'pundit' and co-commentator for the BBC. Trevor's honour comes in recognition of his years in sports administration. He was Chairman of the Eastern Council for Sport and Recreation before becoming a Member, then Vice-Chairman, then Chairman of Sport England.
