A footbridge at the new Wembley Stadium will be named the White Horse Bridge.
The bridge will connect the national stadium, which opens in a year's time, to the town centre and the decision was made after a BBC Five Live poll.
It is named after the police horse that was used to restore order following a pitch invasion in 1923 - in the first FA Cup final at the old stadium.
Sir Alf Ramsey came second from a shortlist that included Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Geoff Hurst and Live Aid.
The chosen name won 34% of the votes.
