Brabrook, Peter As a boy I saw Peter Brabrook playing for Orient at Brisbane Rd; on one occasion a ball was sent in his direction when he was out on the left wing. The only problem was, the ball was high and behind him; he actually had his back to it. No problem; with one touch he back-heeled the ball over his own head and into his path; not bad for division three.


Brabrook, Peter I would always complain about how slow peter brabrook was it I was down at field level buying some thing and was amazed how fast he was( I never complained after that)
