The London Development Agency (LDA) has launched a competition to name its new state-of-the-art footbridge in Wembley.

The footbridge will help link the new National Stadium to the town centre and is part of the Agency�s investment of more than �85m in the area. It has been designed by the architects of the London Eye, Marks Barfield, and will open out onto a new square � just a few hundred metres from the stadium.

Have your say on what to call the bridge by stating what you think is the most significant name or event in Wembley Stadium�s history. You�ll then go in the draw to win a signed England football shirt. Nominations end 15 March 2005.



The best idea is to enter the name of the guy who shot the last goal in this stadium:
So how about "Dietmar-Hamann Bridge"?
Give me a favour and please enter this value in the little field in the middle.

It was a wonderfull shot from 30 meters in a world cup qualifier match
England - Germany (0:1). One of the few matches against our national team the english did actually loose in normal time. Normally they lost because allways forgetting to train some penalty shooting before semi-finals

The fellow Englishmen will love it.

Germans usually win through blatant use of the Schwalbe and other uncouth moves, not by playing a proper game of gentlemanly sports

I much prefer the idea of naming it after "Slim" Jim Baxter. After all he is already listed as a Wembley Legend.
