Fancy living in Martyn Rooney Road? How about Danvers Drive? Or maybe even Zaha Boulevard? 

Plans to pay tribute to Croydon's sporting heroes could soon see a network roads named after our stars of the track, field and pitch.

The proposal, to be looked at by Croydon Council, could see the borough's athletes considered when names are chosen for new roads linked to town-centre developments. 

And the council wants to know which sporting stars Croydon Guardian readers would like to see honoured. 

Coun Tim Godfrey, cabinet member for culture, leisure and sport, said: "The principle of recognising local talent would be a good thing to do.

 "It would be good for readers to put something forward so we can see who they would like to see recognised from Croydon.

"Then we could draw up a top ten and put them forward every time there is a new road needed."

Coun Godfrey also suggest a Hollywood-style "walk of fame" could be laid to celebrate the borough's athletes as part of a planned refurbishment of the Croydon Sports Arena in South Norwood.

Former British Olympians are already honoured in one neighbourhood of South Norwood, where roads bear names such as Akabusi Close, Gunnell Close and Pickering Gardens.

But there is no such tribute to Croydon's own athletes.

Post a comment below, tweet us @Croydon Guardian or email chris.baynes@london.newsquest.co.uk to tell us which sports stars you'd like to see commemorated.

In the meantime, here are few of our suggestions..

Dorothy Tyler

The first British woman to win an invididual Olympic medal in athletics, Tyler set the bar for our country's athletes - and then leapt over it.

A good all-rounder who also competed in javelin, hurdles and long jump, it was high jump in which she excelled -  picking up silver at the 1936 Olympics. She also a world record of 1.66m in 1939 although that accolade was not recognised until 20 years later when it emerged the previous record-holder was a man. 

She lived most of her life in Croydon until her death last year.

Roy Hodgson

The only Croydonian to have led England to a World Cup and probably the only one who will ever be knighted in Finland for his services to football. 

Your Local Guardian:

Mark Butcher

During 17 years in cricket, the former Surrey batsman and Whitgift School alumnus clocked up eight test centuries - including a famous 173 against Australia at Headingley - and amassed 17,870 runs. 

Your Local Guardian:

C.B. Fry

Few people can claim to have represented their country in football and test cricket on top of setting a world record for long jump. Charles Burgress Fry - known as C.B. Fry - could boast exactly that, as well as having played rugby for Barbarians, run for election to Parliament and published several books.

Oh, and he was once invited to be king of Albania - but turned it down.

Alan Pardew

He wasn't born in Croydon, granted. But if he keeps this up there'll be few complaints.
