West Ham United’s Peter Brabook Gets Stuck Into A Joint in 1967

BEFORE top-flight footballers earned the GDP of mid-size African countries, they had second trades. You can read about them in our story of the British sportsmen who ran their own shops.

And in this picture from 15/09/1967, we can see West Ham United’s Peter Brabrook, a fully trained butcher, getting stuck into a joint.

 

 

Here’s Peter in his weekend job:
