Tales from the San Diego Chargers Sideline by Sid Brooks
During his 27-year tenure with the San Diego Chargers, equipment manager Sid Brooks kept more than 5,000 football players from appearing naked before their cheering fans. The first African American to hold the job of equipment manager in the NFL, Brooks was tasked with seeing that each player left the locker room in uniform.
Sid Brooks (19352007), a retired Air Force senior master sergeant who served his last duties in the military in Vietnam and the Air Force Academy, was the equipment manager of the San Diego Chargers from 1973 to 2000. Known throughout the league as "Doc," he sat at the draft table for the Chargers during the NFL draft from 1990 to 2000. Sid lived and worked day to day inside the Chargers locker room, befriending and nurturing almost all who made his acquaintance. He was declared a legend by the Junior Seau Foundation in San Diego.
