Hammers legend slams club security

SIR Trevor Brooking has admitted West Ham’s security situation could be “out of control” after the ugly scenes which marred the club’s 3-0 home defeat to Burnley at the London Stadium on Saturday.

The Hammers are facing an FA probe after pitch invasions and widespread supporter unrest, with Brooking confirming the club’s co-owner David Sullivan was struck by a coin.

And the former Hammers player and manager believes the club’s stewarding needs a radical overhaul.

Brooking said: “There weren’t sufficient stewards and they couldn’t really cope with what was sometimes going back to the bad old days of 25 years ago. That atmosphere must never be allowed to come back.”
