Premier League Hall of Fame
Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry are announced as the first two Premier League legends to be inducted into the all-new Hall of Fame... as fans are asked to vote on SIX other icons to join them in the next few weeks
* Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry are the Premier League's 'inaugural inductees' * Newcastle and Arsenal legends take their place on the Hall of Fame this week * Fans will now be asked to whittle 23-man shortlist down to six other inductees * Shearer is league's all-time top goalscorer while Henry won four Golden Boots Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry have become the first two Premier League legends to be inducted into the all-new Hall of Fame. The Newcastle and Arsenal heroes, widely regarded as two of the best strikers ever to play in the English game, are the first to take up their place, with many more to join them in the coming months and years. In announcing the news, the Premier League's official account introduced the pair as: 'Two centre-forwards, both gifted with natural skill and talent who have written their names in Premier League history.' Thierry Henry (left) and Alan Shearer have become first to enter Premier League's Hall of Fame Shearer is the league's all-time top goalscorer after 14 seasons with Blackburn and Newcastle Henry, meanwhile, is Arsenal's all-time leading scorer and a four-time Golden Boot winner The first two inductees were teased on social media in a video last week, in which the likes of Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright gave clues as to who could be taking the honour. One of the players was described as 'lethal, unmarkable at times' and a 'devastating phenomenon', while the other, according to former Liverpool man Jamie Carragher, was 'an absolute nightmare to play against'. The two 'inaugural inductees' will soon be joined by six other big names, who will be voted onto the Hall of Fame by fans over the next few weeks. A special programme on Sky Sports tonight will announce the 23-man shortlist of candidates, before supporters have their say to whittle them down to six. The likes of Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Roy Keane, Patrick Vieira, Ryan Giggs and Eric Cantona are expected to be among the big names in the discussion. Henry and Shearer, meanwhile, can rest assured in the knowledge that their place is set in stone, and they have received their personalised medallion, engraved with the year of their induction. Speaking about his induction, the Premier League's all-time top goalscorer Shearer said: 'When you look at some of the unbelievable players to have graced the Premier League – week in, week out, year in, year out – I feel very honoured to join the Hall of Fame. 'I have to thank all of my team-mates, as well as the managers and coaches that I've worked with. All I ever wanted to be was a professional footballer. 'It was my dream to do that, my dream to win trophies and my dream to score at St James' Park, to wear the No 9 black-and-white shirt and it was fantastic. I enjoyed every minute of it.' Shearer was the first player to reach 100 Premier League goals, netting 112 times for Blackburn, before he secured a then world-record £15million transfer to his boyhood club Newcastle in 1996. From there, he netted another 148 goals in 303 matches over a 10-year spell, taking his total tally to 260 goals across 14 seasons. Henry, meanwhile, won four Golden Boots in a 175-goal haul at Arsenal, in turn becoming the club's all-time top goalscorer. Upon hearing the news of his induction, the Frenchman noted: 'To be inducted alongside Alan Shearer as the two first inductees into the Premier League Hall of Fame is more than special. The Premier League's Hall of Fame has now been launched, with six others soon to join the list Manchester United legend Eric Cantona (centre) is also in contention to win a place 'When I was young, I was just trying to make sure I could get a pair of boots and now we're talking about the Hall of Fame. During my career I wanted to play hard and make sure I was fighting for the cause, because that's all the fans want to see. 'If you asked me at the start of my career about entering the Hall of Fame, I wouldn't have believed you. It's an amazing honour.' Both have taken different paths since the end of their playing days. Shearer, 50, after briefly dabbling in management at Newcastle is now the BBC's lead pundit on Match of the Day, while Henry, 43, is trying to establish himself as a coach, most recently with Montreal Impact in MLS, as well as doing punditry for Sky. The Hall of Fame was initially scheduled to launch last year, but had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Code:

Re: Premier League Hall of Fame
TEN former Manchester United stars named on 23-man shortlist to select next six members of new Premier League Hall of Fame... but there's NO room for Ryan Giggs amid impending court case
* Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry were announced as the 'inaugural inductees' * Now fans can vote for six further stars to join them from a 23-man shortlist * The list is dominated by players representing Manchester United and Arsenal * Ryan Giggs is thought to have missed the list due to his impending court case * The Wales manager is due in court after he was charged with three offences in which he has denied The Premier League have revealed a 23-man shortlist for fans to vote on who should be inducted into the all-new Hall of Fame - though that list doesn't include Ryan Giggs amid his impending court case. Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and Blackburn and Newcastle icon Alan Shearer were the initial entries, while 23 further candidates were announced. But there was no slot for former Manchester United winger Giggs, who is the most decorated player in the competition’s history, having won the title 13 times. David Beckham and Paul Scholes are among ten former Manchester United players on the shortlist Ryan Giggs though has not been included in the shortlist amid his impending court case Later this week the 47-year-old will appear in court charged with assaulting two women and ‘controlling or coercive behaviour’. He is currently Wales manager but will not be taking charge of the national team at this summer’s European Championship, with Robert Page put in temporary control. Giggs has protested his innocence, said he will plead not guilty in court and added that he looks forward to clearing his name. He is due at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court on Wednesday. Henry is considered one of the finest players to grace the competition. He won two titles at Arsenal and was a key member of the 2003-04 ‘Invincibles’ squad. Shearer is the top scorer in Premier League history with 260 goals. He won the title with Blackburn in 1994-95 and became a prolific striker for boyhood club Newcastle. The shortlist is dominated by ten Manchester United players including Roy Keane, David Beckham and Paul Scholes - though there was no place for Giggs. Other former Manchester United stars to be included were Eric Cantona, Andy Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Peter Schmeichel, Robin Van Persie, Nemanja Vidic and Michael Owen. Arsenal are also heavily represented in the list with seven representatives including Van Persie, Ian Wright, Patrick Vieira, Tony Adams, Dennis Bergkamp, Sol Campbell and Gunner turned Chelsea star Ashley Cole. As well as Ashley Cole, Chelsea also have John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba included in the list. 90s Premier League legends Eric Cantona, Les Ferdinand and Ian Wright have also made the list Liverpool have three representatives including Owen, Steven Gerrard and Robbie Fowler. Also included in the list are Southampton legend Matthew Le Tissier and former Newcastle and Tottenham striker Les Ferdinand. The first two inductees were teased on social media in a video last week, in which the likes of Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright gave clues as to who could be taking the honour. One of the players was described as 'lethal, unmarkable at times' and a 'devastating phenomenon', while the other, according to former Liverpool man Jamie Carragher, was 'an absolute nightmare to play against'. In announcing Shearer and Henry, the Premier League's official account introduced the pair as: 'Two centre-forwards, both gifted with natural skill and talent who have written their names in Premier League history.' Fans can vote for the next six inductees on the Premier League's official website and on the official Premier League app until May 9. Quote:

Re: Premier League Hall of Fame
Typically humble, Eric! Cantona says he's 'very happy and very proud... but NOT surprised' as he is named as the third player to enter the Premier League Hall of Fame after Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer - with next legend to be announced today
* Eric Cantona becomes third inductee into the Premier League Hall of Fame * The Manchester United legend said he was not surprised to be inducted * Cantona, now 54, joins Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry in the Hall of Fame * He said he expected to win a place as he described himself as 'exceptional' Manchester United icon Eric Cantona has been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame - and characteristically admitted he was not surprised to receive the honour. The ex-United forward becomes just the third former player to be inducted, joining Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry, following his glittering career in England which saw him score 70 goals in 156 Premier League appearances and claim four league titles. Speaking on his induction, the talismanic Frenchman said in true Cantona-style: 'I am very happy and very proud, but at the same time I am not surprised. I would've been surprised if I had not been elected. Manchester United icon Eric Cantona has been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame The Frenchman, 54, said he was not surprised to have the honour bestowed upon him. Cantona was a huge fan favourite at United and becomes the third ex-player to be inducted 'I think maybe there are nearly 30 players who could've been elected. Me, it's different. If you have to elect one, it's me. But the other ones are all great. Me? I'm exceptional.' Cantona was a huge fan favourite at United, earning him the nickname 'King Eric,' and was widely seen as one of the most mesmerising talents to ever grace the English game. During his trophy-laden five-year spell at Old Trafford which came after winning the top flight with Leeds, he won four league titles, two FA Cups and five Community Shields as well as a Player of the Year for the 1993-94 season. Cantona enjoyed a trophy-laden five years at United and won four Premier League titles. Ex-United star produced numerous magical moments, including this chip against Sunderland Cantona was described as someone who had the 'X-factor', was 'fearless' and 'dragged Manchester United to the Premier League title' by his ex team-mates and fellow professionals in a video announcing his induction, while Steve Bruce said he had 'never seen anyone have the impact that Cantona had at United'. Sir Alex Ferguson signed Cantona from Leeds in 1992 to solve their goal-scoring troubles and the Frenchman played an inspirational role to fire the club to their first league championship in 26 years in his first season. Cantona also provided a number of memorable moments throughout his five years at United, including some controversial ones too. His attempt to kick a Crystal Palace fan after being sent off during a match in 1995 remains one of the most infamous incidents in Premier League history and earned him an eight-month ban from football. But when Cantona was at his imperious best on the pitch, he was irrepressible and is best remembered for producing moments of magic; from his nonchalant chip against Sunderland to the thunderbolt free-kick against Arsenal and his brilliant performance at Maine Road in 1993 to lead United to a 3-2 comeback win against arch rivals City. Quote:
A shortlist was announced last month before fans had to whittle it down to six nominees with the likes of Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira all in the discussion. Upon hearing about his induction, Cantona said: 'I play football, I love football, I dream about football when I was a kid. Of course to play in England it was a dream. 'It's a dream of everybody, to play in the Premier League. And I've been lucky to play in this team with wonderful players and a wonderful manager and wonderful fans, because we won and we really enjoyed it. And it was the football I dream about. 'Manchester United is a club that want to win things, but in a good way. It was like this in the time of Matt Busby. This is identity of this club, the philosophy of this club.' The enigmatic Frenchman has received recognition for his achievements before, having been named the inaugural player to enter the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002. Since hanging up his boots, he has largely stayed away from football, instead taking up a career in cinema and has acted in a number of French films and plays. He did however represent France's national beach soccer team for nine years between 1997 and 2006 and managed them up until 2011 before serving a brief stint as New York Cosmos' Director of Soccer.

Re: Premier League Hall of Fame
Roy Keane is named as the fourth player to enter the Premier League's Hall of Fame, following old team-mate Eric Cantona... but former Manchester United captain sticks to terse, one-line answers in his celebratory Q&A!
* Roy Keane has become the next player to enter the Premier League Hall of Fame * Keane joins Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer and Eric Cantona in sharing the honour * The ex-Manchester United midfielder won seven league titles over his career * He kept his celebratory Q&A short and sweet, reserving praise for Brian Clough Manchester United legend Roy Keane has become the fourth player to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame. The former midfielder is one of the most decorated players in Premier League history, having won seven titles with United, and joins ex-team-mate Eric Cantona, Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer in the Hall of Fame. 'I feel very lucky to be inducted but I've only been inducted because of the players I've played with,' Keane said in contrasting style to Cantona, whose place in the Hall of Fame was announced earlier on Tuesday. Manchester United legend Roy Keane has been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame Keane is one of the most decorated players in Premier League history, winning seven titles The Irishman was a dominant figure during United's golden era under Sir Alex Ferguson, lifting numerous trophies as club caption across his 12-year spell between 1993 and 2005. Keane didn't appear to be in celebratory mood though and stuck to terse, one-line answers after his inclusion was announced - though he did reserve special praise for his former Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough, who brought him from Cobh Ramblers in County Cork, Ireland to the Premier League. 'Brian Clough [was my biggest influence] for signing and giving me my debut,' Keane said. 'His advice before my debut was telling me to control the ball, pass it to my team-mate and run, that was the foundation of my career.' The Irishman is widely regarded as one of the best central midfield players of his time. He named Brian Clough over Sir Alex Ferguson as the biggest influence on his career. Keane played alongside some of the best players in the world, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud Van Nistelrooy and credited them for the reason of his induction Despite playing the majority of his career under Alex Ferguson, Keane named Clough as the man who had the biggest influence on him. Keane was a huge part of the United team that dominated English football under Ferguson but the pair fell out after his acrimonious exit in 2005 and still don't see eye to eye to this day. As well as seven Premier League titles, Keane also won four FA Cups, four Community Shields, one Champions League and an Intercontinental Cup during his time at United. Keane, who made 366 Premier League appearances, scoring 39 times and registering 33 assists, is widely regarded as one of the best central midfield players of his time and had a reputation for being a no-nonsense hardman. He was involved in numerous intense midfield battles with Patrick Vieira throughout his career as United and Arsenal battled for supremacy in the late 90s and early 2000s. Vieira was one of the players on the 23-man shortlist to be inducted next into the Hall of Fame, but Keane was given the nod with more combined votes from the public and the Premier League panel.

Re: Premier League Hall of Fame
Frank Lampard is the fifth player to enter the Premier League's Hall of Fame, with Chelsea legend thanking Jose Mourinho for boosting his career
* Frank Lampard has been inducted into the Premier League's Hall of Fame * He's the fifth player to enter, after Eric Cantona and Roy Keane joined on Tuesday * Lampard is Chelsea's all-time leading scorer and won three Premier League titles * The midfielder also sits fifth in the Premier League's all-time leading scorers Frank Lampard has become the fifth player to be inducted into the Premier League's Hall of Fame. Lampard helped Chelsea win their first-ever Premier League title under Jose Mourinho in 2005 and would go on to lift that same title two more times at Stamford Bridge. A prolific goalscorer from midfield, Lampard is Chelsea's all-time leading scorer and is fifth in the Premier League's all-time chart. He scored 177 goals in 609 Premier League appearances for West Ham, Chelsea and Man City. Frank Lampard is the fifth player to be inducted into the Premier League's Hall of Fame Lampard also managed 102 assists in that same time, picking up four Premier League Player of the Month awards and the 2004-05 Premier League Player of the Season gong. He is widely considered as one of Chelsea's greatest ever players and has now been recognised for his contributions in the top flight of English football. Lampard thanked his uncle, Harry Redknapp, for giving him his first big break in football before praising Claudio Ranieri and Mourinho – who he later fell out with as a manager – for their influence on him while he was at the Bridge. 'There have been a lot of people that have influenced me,' Lampard said. 'I guess really Harry Redknapp's belief in me at West Ham to give me the first opportunity, Claudio Ranieri for taking me to Chelsea, and Jose Mourinho for the influence he had on me when he first arrived. However, I took things from all my managers and am thankful to them all.' Lampard is Chelsea's all-time leading scorer and has won three Premier League titles. Lampard celebrates his third, and final, Premier League title win with Chelsea in 2010. Lampard thanked Jose Mourinho for boosting his playing career. Lampard also managed to reach 102 Premier League assists during his trophy-laden career Lampard joins Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Roy Keane and Eric Cantona in the Hall of Fame. The Blues legend claims he looked up to those already in the Hall of Fame and is 'honoured' to be mentioned in the same breath as them. Lampard added: 'As a young lad I remember just wanting to make it into the West Ham team, and looking up to players like Roy Keane, Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry so to be mentioned in the same bracket as them is a real honour. I am very proud and thankful for the recognition.' Lampard credited his natural goalscoring ability to 'practice and hard work', with the midfielder renowned for his uncanny ability to consistently score from outside the box. He revealed his favourite strikes of the 177 he scored in the Premier League were against Bolton when Chelsea wrapped up the title in 2005. 'The key for me was practice and hard work,' Lampard said, when asked about his secret to scoring so many goals from midfield. Quote:
'My favourite goals are the two goals I scored against Bolton when we won the league in 2005. They meant so much to me personally but more importantly it was what they meant to the club and the fans to win the League that year.' Each inductee receives a personalised medallion, engraved with the year of their induction. The former England international is one of the six players of a 23-man shortlist to receive the most combined votes from the Premier League panel and public to be inducted into Hall of Fame. Code:
