Battle of the bridge commences
Live Aid and Billy the White Horse have been named alongside three of England’s 1966 World Cup heroes in the battle to name a state-of-the-art footbridge being built in Wembley that will connect the new national stadium to the town centre.
The LDA teamed up with BBC Radio Five Live for the vote, on the 13th May – exactly a year before the stadium opens for the 2006 FA Cup Final. Voting will be online at BBC Radio Five Live and runs throughout the last week of the football season to midnight on 22nd May. The winner will be announced on Five Live Breakfast on Monday 23rd May.

The five names are:
Sir Alf Ramsey – As England manager for 12 years and 113 matches, he masterminded England’s greatest footballing triumph – winning the World Cup at Wembley in 1966. The late Sir Alf was heralded for his dignity and the groundbreaking tactics that helped to lift the cup.
..
Sir Bobby Charlton – A great player and a true ambassador for the sport, Sir Bobby scored the two goals that put England into the World Cup final. He scored a record 49 times for England in 106 games, but is equally hailed for his sense of fair play.
..
Sir Geoff Hurst – England hero Sir Geoff is the only man to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final, the third ballooning in the back of the German net to the immortal words “They think it’s all over… it is now”. Scored 248 goals in 499 games for West Ham
..
The White Horse – A Wembley legend. 250,000 people swarmed into the stadium, crowding onto the pitch for the first Wembley Cup Final in 1923, before PC George Scorey and Billy the White Horse rode on to restore order. It became known as the White Horse Cup Final.
..
Live Aid – Twenty years ago – 13th July 1985 to be exact – an estimated 1.8 billion people worldwide tuned in to watch the marathon concert at Wembley to raise money for famine victims in Africa. A defining moment not just in the history of the stadium, but of the world.
