The Jim Baxter Bridge

Last updated : 17 February 2005 By Stuart Gillespie
The idea of the competition is that people nominate those who have some historic link with Wembley, so the English will probably go for that bloke who scored one legal goal and two illegal goals (people on pitch, ball not over the line) in some game once in the 1960s.

Fortunately some Scots have been nominating someone to end this nonsense. Jim Baxter took the mickey out of the English at Wembley the year after they were world champions, and many folk are now nominating the idea of the Jim Baxter Bridge, whilst some Welsh folk have gone for one of their egg chasers.

It might make the short list, so to take part go to http://www.lda.gov.uk/server.php?show=ConForm.9 The only downside is that the winner gets an England shirt...
