I doubt it would happen, but i would have chuckled to see Vinnie Jones make the HOF. Not the best player but certainly one of the most memorable of his era.
It's not weird at all. The Giggs thing is still ongoing, that's why they can't do anything with him at the moment. He's completely and utterly radioactive to brands until that gets settled one way or another.Find it weird that they're acting like Giggs never existed. Yes he's a prick but they've got Cantona who assaulted a fan, Gerrard also had an assault claim on him.
It depends what this thing wants to be. If it's just a list of the best players then it's ultimately going to be pretty boring.I doubt it would happen, but i would have chuckled to see Vinnie Jones make the HOF. Not the best player but certainly one of the most memorable of his era.
Wouldn't you say that players such as Gerrard, Kane, Suárez, Bale, Fowler, Le Tissier, Les Ferdinand or Gary Speed are absolute legends of the game and Premier League greats? There are so many brilliant players in so many sports that never win the most coveted prizes but to me that shouldn't decide whether they get inducted to Hall of Fame or not.Don‘t understand how someone can be in a PL Hall of Fame without ever winning the PL
There should be room for players like that for one reason or another.It depends what this thing wants to be. If it's just a list of the best players then it's ultimately going to be pretty boring.
People like Vinny Jones or Rory Delap have a place in the Premier League "Hall of Fame" for me.

First two managers, think only players until nowHow was SAF not the 1st inductee?
Or did they just start inducting managers now?
This.Bit of a downgrade on Fergie’s achievements to have him inducted at the same time with a manager that’s not on his level.
He should have been inducted on his own, just like his achievements are peerless.

Nah. Those two came as a pair. Wengers influence caused Fergie to become the manager he needed to be. It was the first great PL rivalry and they deserve equal billing in terms of importance to the league. It’s not a measure of who was best.Bit of a downgrade on Fergie’s achievements to have him inducted at the same time with a manager that’s not on his level.

Defoe is the one I definitely don't agree with. The likes Michael Carrick, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Petr Cech and Yaya Toure are all worthy of Hall of Fame nomination but they can wait a few more years.They're going to devalue the award if they start giving it to every man and his dog. A number of those names should be nowhere near a PL hall of fame list. Keep it to 20 or so players for now.
A pretty solid list and then...Defoe.Tweet

They’re not giving it to anyone though. Those are the nominees from which three are voted in. There’s 18 inductees in total now and they’re adding another three.They're going to devalue the award if they start giving it to every man and his dog. A number of those names should be nowhere near a PL hall of fame list. Keep it to 20 or so players for now.
Which players from that list should be "nowhere near a PL Hall of Fame list"?They're going to devalue the award if they start giving it to every man and his dog. A number of those names should be nowhere near a PL hall of fame list. Keep it to 20 or so players for now.
I know Defoe is in 9th on the list of PL goals but I would so many other strikers above him in the hall of fame who are below him on that goal list.Which players from that list should be "nowhere near a PL Hall of Fame list"?
Tell that to the likes of Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley and Karl Malone (among others) who never won a championship in the sport I presume this HOF stuff is based on.Don‘t understand how someone can be in a PL Hall of Fame without ever winning the PL
Realistically, i dont think any of Campbell, Carrick, Ashley Cole, Defoe, Les Ferdinand, Owen and potentially Toure should be included.Which players from that list should be "nowhere near a PL Hall of Fame list"?
Cole? Can't agree with that. Comfortably the best LB in PL history.Realistically, i dont think any of Campbell, Carrick, Ashley Cole, Defoe, Les Ferdinand, Owen and potentially Toure should be included.
I think we just have a very different idea of what constitutes a "Hall of Fame".Realistically, i dont think any of Campbell, Carrick, Ashley Cole, Defoe, Les Ferdinand, Owen and potentially Toure should be included.
I lean towards your way of thinking. Are they going to be exclusive or inclusive? I'd put Beckham,Scholes and Giggs in, but not say a Gary Neville or Roy Keane. They'll make more headlines taking the exclusive approach.Realistically, i dont think any of Campbell, Carrick, Ashley Cole, Defoe, Les Ferdinand, Owen and potentially Toure should be included.
