Now sometimes you know you are out of your depth.
Despite having three sons who follow football with a ferocity, and friends who can tell me the history of the team and their current performance I am a loss with the game.
And I have to confess that Roy Hodgson, Crystal Palace, and former England manager was unknown to me.
But a trawl of the internet revealed a long career as a manager of teams in Finland, Denmark, Holland, Sweden, the U.A.E, and Switzerland, before finally finishing up via Inter Milan, Liverpool, Blackburn, Fulham, and West Bromwich, with Crystal Palace, where he started, and of course a spell with England.
All of which means that there could be any one of hundreds of people living in the new build around the bridge who might have decided to honour the bridge with the plaque.
Those in the know, please advise.
