Brooking will stand in as replacement for West Ham boss Glenn Roeder who is currently recovering in hospital after suffering a slight stroke after the game with Middlesbrough last weekend.

"This seems to be the most sensible solution to preserve the continuity that Glenn and his back-room team have put into place," Brooking told the West Ham official website.

"We aim to keep the momentum going that everyone has achieved over the last eight matches when 15 points have been gained."
