Lifetime Achievement Award In 2013, West Ham United introduced a new annual award, the West Ham United Lifetime Achievement Award. The first award was presented to club-record appearance maker Billy Bonds, who picked up the award on the pitch at Upton Park before kick-off against Cardiff City on the opening day of the 2013–14 season.

Brooking received the award before the 2014–15 season curtain-raiser against Tottenham Hotspur on 16 August 2014.
