Wembley Bridge shortlist revealed

From BBC:

The shortlist of five possible names for the bridge leading to the new Wembley Stadium has been announced by the London Development Agency.

Sir Alf Ramsey, Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Geoff Hurst, The White Horse and Live Aid have been chosen after the LDA received more than 670,000 suggestions.

Three panellists picked their way through the suggestions - BBC Five Live's Jonathan Pearce, LDA executive director Tony Winterbottom and Wembley Stadium's chief executive Michael Cunnah.

Pearce admitted it had been a difficult task trying to come up with a final list of five.

"It wasn't easy deciding the shortlist, so what we did was discount any of the suggestions that didn't have 'Sir' at the beginning, added a couple more for novelty value then fucked off to the pub" Pearce said.
