Career

Brookes was born in Bilston and was a wicket-keeper for the Staffordshire County Cricket Club. In 1891 Stoke were suffering from a goalkeeper crisis with both Bill Rowley and Wilf Merritt out with injuries and Brookes was signed by the club. He did well as Stoke remained unbeaten and claimed the Football Alliance title and with it an instant return to the Football League. He remained at Stoke but lost his place once Rowley had recovered and Brookes joined Northwich Victoria.
