He was the most nominated person for the naming of the new Wembley footbridge, Roy Keane and Jack Charlton are among those nominated too, but they'll probably go with Bobby Moore.

Hand of God bridge would have been cool - if several countries could have agreed to go for the same title with their campaigns...

I voted for 'the Jan Tomaszweski bridge.'

I wonder if they'll have a competition to name an end at the new Wembley. No need to go outside their own beloved England.

Colin Bell is their man!

Wasn't he the last person to score at the old Wembley in the 1-0 loss to Germany? I assume that is the joke. Lets hope he gets it.

Not that its much of a surprise, but the judging committee have decided to ignore all the "anti-English" ones.

It is down to 5 contenders, as follows:

The Sir Alf Ramsey Bridge
The Sir Bobby Charlton Bridge
The Sir Geoff Hurst Bridge
The Live Aid Bridge
The White Horse Bridge.

The White Horse one is after a white horse named 'Billie', ridden by PC George Scorey, who attempted to restore order when 200,000 attended the 1923 FA Cup final.

There already is a Bobby Moore Bridge close to Wembley, so that's why he's not an option. BBC 5 Live are now running the official vote that will decide on the name.
