Eric Brook
Eric Fred Brook (27 November 1907 – 29 March 1965) was an English footballer who played in the outside left position. He is the all-time record goalscorer for Manchester City in all competitions and was an England international. Brook was a muscular player〔 p231〕 with 'one of the fiercest shots in pre-war football'〔 p25〕 and was a good penalty taker.〔 p31〕 Brook is regarded as one of Manchester City's and England's greatest ever players〔 He has been described 'as a brilliant roving
forward for Manchester City and England'〔 p45〕 and 'one of the great names of British soccer'.
==Early life==
Brook was born in the Yorkshire town of Mexborough in 1907. After playing amateur football for Wath Athletic, Brook began his professional football career with nearby Barnsley, playing in the outside left position. Brook has been described as an 'unorthodox' outside left 'with a licence to roam'.〔 Brook treated the left wing as 'a home to look in on'.〔 Brook could play anywhere on the pitch if the need required, including in goal. He replaced an injured goalkeeper on at least three occasions over the course of his career.〔 p34〕 One such game in which he played in goal was when Manchester City played Chelsea. The then City goalkeeper Frank Swift claimed that 'before helping to tuck the blankets over me (on the stretcher) Brookie had pulled my jersey off-about two sizes too big for him- and was ready to keep goal'.〔 Brook played 78 times for Barnsley and scored 18 goals. His performances provoked interest from teams in the First Division.
