In May 2005, the naming decision took place in the form of an online poll hosted by BBC Five Live in conjunction with the
London Development Agency (who were building the bridge and who had conceived the idea of a public poll) and won from a shortlist of
Live Aid (in memory of the 1985 concert held at the stadium),
Sir Alf Ramsey (being England's
1966 World Cup-winning manager),
Sir Bobby Charlton and
Sir Geoff Hurst (two of Sir Alf's team). The LDA received over 670,000 nominations from all over the world. The name with the most nominations, however, mainly coming from
Germany, was
Dietmar Hamann, who scored the last goal at the old Wembley Stadium. This was a qualification game in October 2000 for the
2002 FIFA World Cup, with a German
1–0 win against England. The LDA decided to name the bridge
White Horse Bridge instead. == See also ==
