The LDA website was bombarded with 670,000 responses from across the world when it first asked punters to nominate the most significant name in Wembley Stadium’s history. A co-ordinated campaign from German fans ensured Dietmar Hamann received the most nominations – but now it’s up to the three panellists to decide which five names are most linked with the stadium’s history.

Auf deutsch

die Engländer wollen uns mal wieder bescheissen!!
... aber wer will es ihnen wirklich verübeln, oder würdet ihr vor einem deutschen Stadion eine "Geoff Hurst-Brücke" haben wollen??

Geoff Hurst ist aber das entscheidende Stichwort. SO DARF DIE BRÜCKE AUF KEINEN FALL HEISSEN!!! denn

Most aspiring footballers dream of scoring the winning goal in a World Cup Final; one man went a step further and scored a hat-trick. Geoff Hurst, the only player ever to do so, did it at Wembley in front of a passionate home crowd in 1966 as England won football`s greatest prize.

Geoff Hurst ist der Mann, der die Tore geschossen hat, als wir so schändlich betrogen wurden!!

Also ... SO darf die Brücke auf keinen Fall heissen!!

Die alternativen begeistern mich nun auch nicht gerade und das kleinste Übel ist immer noch das "weisse Pferd" ...

Also geht hier wählen http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/wembleybridge/ und lasst uns gemeinsam dafür sorgen, dass die Brücke "Gaul" und nicht "Hurst" heisst.

Auf gehts!!

World Cup heroes, the White Horse and Live Aid

Voting is underway to find the most significant name in Wembley’s history. Three of the knighted heroes of the 1966 World Cup campaign go up against Live Aid and the White Horse – legend of the first Wembley Cup Final.
The shortlist of five names was picked from more than 670,000 nominations. The London Development Agency (LDA) has teamed up with BBC Five Live for the vote, which runs from 13 May – exactly a year before the stadium opens for the 2006 FA Cup Final to 23 May. Voting will be online at http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/wembleybridge/.

The five names on the shortlist 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 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

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.

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), 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.
You can hear the names debated and championed throughout the voting process on BBC Radio Five Live.

One notable name missing from the list is 1966 World Cup captain Sir Bobby Moore. There is already a Bobby Moore bridge – named in September 1993 – and further tributes to the England legend are planned.

The three panellists who decided the list – Five Live’s Jonathan Pearce, LDA executive director Tony Winterbottom and Wembley chief executive Michael Cunnah – argued their way through the nominations, but were unanimous on excluding the most-nominated name: Dietmar Hamann.

The bridge, which has been designed by the architects of the London Eye, will provide a link from the stadium and the developments around it to Wembley town centre, bringing huge benefits for local shops and communities.

The new Wembley National Stadium will not only be the world’s most spectacular stadium, but it is also helping to stimulate major regeneration of the surrounding area. Mayor of London Ken Livingstone has played a key role in driving forward the stadium and developments around it, and through the LDA and Transport for London is investing more than £120m in the Wembley area. This includes major public transport improvements, boosting capacity for the three stations serving the area by 50 per cent, as well as building a new town square, contributing to the stadium project itself, business support and training to help people take advantage of new job opportunities.
