BFP - Call to rename Hillbottom Road after Matt Bloomfield

(apologies for the link to that tracker-ridden website, use private browsing mode)
This made me think about which other roads in High Wycombe are named after former players.
I can think of Declan Link Road in Castlefield, Leon Knight's Hill, Terry Gibson Road in Booker and Stuart Roberts Road for starters, any others?

There's The Link in Hazlemere, although it's barely a road
Mark West Avenue in Tylers Green.
Clint Easton Street.
Stuart Green Hill/Street
Stuart Green Street, Stuart Green Hill, Stuart Green Road (he must have been good to name 3 roads after him).
There are two Green Streets as well
Did Bayo ever play for Flackwell Heath FC? Out of ground up Oakland Way, turn right and you'll find yourself back in Fennes Way
One for the oldies, Ray Eaton Avenue.
De Havilland Drive - wouldn't have thought 19 appearances would merit a road name
I used to deliver papers down there, felt like I'd unlocked a whole new level of Hazlemere.
Ruth Close?
Bayo Tree Close Loudwater
Went to school with a guy called Greenhill who lived on Green Hill.
Mark West Wycombe Rd
We don't want the road leading up to AP named the same as Blackpool's stadium surely? Family stand idea sounds better.
I believe I knew the same chap (from out of school), this always tickled me too.
This idea is great for the chuckles of spoof naming other roads, but I think the whole Bloomfield thing is getting ever so slightly over the top now.
Unfortunately there's a Hylton Road near the ground. That needs renaming.
You win !
No actually you win !
Nobody could stand over the ball at every single free kick we had in the opposition half, pretend to be interested in taking it, then let someone else take it, then claim to be an attacking midfielder quite like that bloke ever could.
Wheelers Park
Wheeler Avenue
Bloomfield Way has echoes of the approach to another great stadium. There are already at least two Bloomfield Ways in Suffolk, both fairly near Ipswich.
I'm not sure that renaming Hillbottom Road would be welcomed by the businesses along the road. Any printed literature with their address on it would have to be reprinted. That would also apply to WWFC.
What about renaming the training ground?
Dave Bullocks Farm Lane, John Richardson St,
This was all done recently come on
I'm feeling a bit tench right now....
The two Barry's. Barry Baker Street (for the oldies again), Barry Richardson Street.
Garratts Way, after our not so great keeper Chris.
