Shearer was, along with Henry. Cantona is the third player.Thought Alan Shearer would have been the first. But this makes sense too.
Ah right. My mistake.Shearer was, along with Henry. Cantona is the third player.
how long has this hall of fame thing being going on for? Surely he would have been the first person to put in it.The King rightfully takes his throne.
Not long at all - Shearer and Henry were first inductees last month.how long has this hall of fame thing being going on for? Surely he would have been the first person to put in it.
Ok. Cheers. Not heard of it before.Not long at all - Shearer and Henry were first inductees last month.
I expect Giggs was going to be one of the inaugural inductees before the recent court case.
it would have been a terrible pr move.I still can't understand decision about Giggs being out of list. How?!
His personal life has nothing to do with all records and trophies which he did in PL
With cancel culture being a thing I can imagine them leaving Giggs out to avoid a potential social media shitstorm.I still can't understand decision about Giggs being out of list. How?!

Giggs himself wouldn't want to in right now. He's many things but not a complete dummy.I still can't understand decision about Giggs being out of list. How?!

It’s not a race. As long as the deserving players get in, it doesn’t matter who goes in when.Should have been in front of Henry imo.
I remember he was king of assists back in his time. He used to drop back deep and play a free role for us, and our team rely heavily on his creativity and visionary pass/throughballs. Of course, when we needed a goal he would score some fine and crucial goals for us too.Never saw his assist stats before. 136 goals and assists in 156 games is insane numbers. Not many players will have better g+a to games ratios in the prem.
Yeah. Hall of Fame was announced on 26th April and Giggs was charged three days earlier on the 23rd April. He likely would have been one of the first named if not for the legal issues. Can't see him be inducted until 2025 at the earliest.Giggs himself wouldn't want to in right now. He's many things but not a complete dummy.
There's no rush with these things. Let Giggs go in a a few years when all the focus is on his fantastic career.
If he went on now there would be a shitstorm towards Giggs and the Premier League.
I mean it's up to them to decide the criteria for the Hall of Fame, isn't it? No-ones striking Giggs achievements off of official lists. But if the PL wants to make a Hall of Fame I think it's within their rights to exclude players who have proven to be pretty fecking shitty people.I still can't understand decision about Giggs being out of list.

Yeah this was a massive part of his game.I remember he was king of assists back in his time. He used to drop back deep and play a free role for us, and our team rely heavily on his creativity and throughballs.
I can genuinely see both sides to this argument in fairness.I mean it's up to them to decide the criteria for the Hall of Fame, isn't it? No-ones striking Giggs achievements off of official lists. But if the PL wants to make a Hall of Fame I think it's within their rights to exclude players who have proven to be pretty fecking shitty people.
