Premier league hall of fame

[USER1999]

Just been announced as happening. Not a great idea in my view. Too much back slapping. Two inaugural members to be announced in March with 19 other considerations.

Which two players would you put in first?

(I am guessing the two will not be from the same club, so lets have the same rules here).

 

[USER1999]

Mine are Peter Schmiechel and Thierry Henry.

Why just premier league ? Why not all English football.

It’s a pure Americanism - it’s funny when they did the Golf Hall of Fame - it took years for the original people in golf to be added

I suspect Giggs andHenry

 

[fundy]

Henry and Giggs for me, but dont expect to be right (more likely giggs and shearer)

why start with 2 players? so that they can fanfare add a couple each year yawn. induct all the no brainers at the start imho

 

[Imurg]

Shearer and Beckham...

Just the Premier league, because football started in 1992?

If I had to pick two - Terry & Bridge, have a bit of fun at the inauguration ceremony

I've just read that there is an English Football Hall of Fame - run by the National Football Museum

I'd go those as well.

I was going to post slightly differently but then I re-read your post and you asked for who would we put in first. I dislike the concept of a PL Hall of Fame. As has been said many times before, the PL did not invent football.

Shearer and Beckham...

This for me too.

 

[Papas1982]

Shearer and Gerrard.

Both playing for boyhood clubs when more successful and financially rewarding opportunities were plentiful.

 

[Kellfire]

First two will surely be from the 90s - Cantona and Keane for me. Arguably the two most pivotal players for the best team of the 90s PL era.

 

[Robin Hood]

Shearer and Beckham...

These are my two as well.

 

[Orikoru]

I would have said the obvious answers are Thierry Henry - the best player we've seen in the Premier League era, and Alan Shearer - the top scorer by a comfortable distance.

What a load of ?!

Ali Dia and Massimo Taibi..........??

 

[Bunkermagnet]

I suppose there must be quite a few retired and well paid PL players in need of more money then.

Crap idea and totally unnecessary imo. People will be club legends ans acknowledge in their own clubs history, just seems another Americanism money making scheme from the PL. What criteria are they even going to use for eligibility.

But just to play the game for the first entrants I'd pick 1 manager and 1 player instead and go for Sir Alex & Shearer

 

[Jensen]

Oh Teddy Teddy, Teddy Teddy Teddy Teddy Sheringham.
Alan Shearer
