WHAT IS THE PREMIER LEAGUE HALL OF FAME?​

The Premier League Hall of Fame recognises and honours former players who have an exceptional record of on-pitch success and have shown significant contribution to the League since its inception in 1992. This will be the highest individual honour awarded to players by the Premier League.

The Premier League Hall of Fame will exist online with content dedicated to celebrating the careers of those who have been inducted. Only players who are retired are eligible. In order to be eligible for induction in 2021, players must have been retired by 1 August 2020.

HOW MANY PLAYERS WILL BE INDUCTED INTO THE PREMIER LEAGUE HALL OF FAME?​

In 2021, the Premier League Hall of Fame will welcome eight inductees. Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry will be the inaugural Premier League Hall of Fame inductees. Fans will be invited to select an additional six former players from a 23-man shortlist. From this shortlist, six additional former players will be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame via public and panel vote.

DOES THAT MEAN THOSE WHO ARE NOT VOTED IN FOR THIS YEAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ON FUTURE SHORTLISTS?​

Not necessarily. New players will retire each season, automatically making them eligible for the Premier League Hall of Fame, thus affecting the overall shortlist.

WHAT ARE THE SELECTION CRITERIA FOR THE PREMIER LEAGUE HALL OF FAME?​

To be eligible for the 2021 Premier League Hall of Fame, players must have been retired by 1 August 2020 to be considered for induction. Only a player’s Premier League career is considered in their candidacy, not their performances in other competitions during the Premier League era.

Players must have made a minimum of 250 Premier League appearances unless they have achieved any of the following milestones:

  • Made a minimum of 200 Premier League appearances for one Club
  • Been selected to any of the Premier League Team of the Decade or 20-Year Anniversary teams
  • Won a Premier League Golden Boot or Golden Glove
  • Been voted as Premier League Player of the Season
  • Won three Premier League titles
  • Scored 100 Premier League goals or recorded 100 Premier League clean sheets (GK only)

The 23 man shortlist for the next 6 are as follows:

Tony Adams, David Beckham, Dennis Bergkamp, Sol Campbell, Eric Cantona, Andrew Cole, Ashley Cole, Didier Drogba, Les Ferdinand, Rio Ferdinand, Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard, Roy Keane, Frank Lampard, Matt Le Tissier, Michael Owen, Peter Schmeichel, Paul Scholes, John Terry, Robin van Persie, Nemanja Vidic, Patrick Viera, Ian Wright.

Who are you choosing?
 
I've gone with Peter Schmeichel, Dennis Bergkamp, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard and Paul Scholes.

I wouldn't have any argument with a dozen or so from that list though.

TLF is eligible due to his Player of the Season win in 96/97 👀
 
A celebration of ESL wannabe clubs there. Only one non-ESL player and he's turned into a Covidiot. What a load of bolleaux.
 
next they will be issuing premier league rings instead of medals. i really despise the way premier league has changed football, rinsing every last penny, sky, talksport, betting Ads,VAR, overseas fanbases. Its laugable that fans were up in arms about the ESL when its already being taken out of the hands of working class fans. I honestly wouldn't care if i never saw another premier league game in my lifetime.
 
Anyone entering this Hall Of Fame should be banned from entering any other Hall Of Fame.
 
Ashley Cole,
Rio Ferdinand,
John Terry,
Roy Keane
Frank Lampard
Patrick Viera

Can't believe I'm missing out Scholes amongst some other greats in that list. Cantona was a huge signing for Utd at the time too. He took them to that next level.

Oh and how on earth isn't Gary Neville on that list?

Probably the greatest RB in the PL era ever.
 
WoW are they really trying to wipe out the history of football before 92?

There`s already an English Football Hall of Fame that has plenty of Premier League footballers inducted in to it

:mad:🤬🤬🤬🤬😤😓

Hence my earlier post, my rather brilliant topical earlier unappreciated post.
