Aftermath
Immediately after the game, Keegan resigned as manager of England. England under-21 coach Howard Wilkinson was appointed as caretaker manager by the Football Association. He was succeeded by Sven-Goran Eriksson, who led England to a 5–1 victory over Germany in the return fixture.
Dietmar Hamann's goal was the last to be scored at the stadium. Hamann later stated in an interview that he regretted the fact that Keegan had resigned after the game, as he had supported Hamburger SV during Keegan's time at the club.
In May 2005, a poll to name a footbridge at the new Wembley Stadium saw the name Dietmar Hamann Bridge receive the most nominations. It was instead given the name White Horse Bridge.https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/may/25/football.markhonigsbaum Honigsbaum Mark Horse beats Hurst in Wembley bridge contest 25 May 2005 The Guardian 2 February 2011
