THE JIM BAXTER BRIDGE

Motion Text

That this House notes the online vote to name a footbridge at the new Wembley Stadium; believes that there could be no more appropriate and suitable name than the Jim Baxter Bridge in acknowledgement of the genius of 'slim Jim'; remembers when he humbled world champions England in 1967, with his audacious displays of 'keepy-uppy' on the Wembley turf; notes the tartan armies' support for this campaign; and calls upon all football fans, regardless of nationality, to honour this piece of impudent genius.
