It should be 2 players inducted every year, with a manager and team inducted every other year. For example, that entire Leicester team should be inducted as a unit.
Premier League Hall of Fame
- Thread starter Motorman
- Start date
This is going to take 30 years. Just stuff the lot in there.
Pardon? Owen is the weakest there and he is deservedly there.
Would be nice if they rose above his abject insanity and inducted Le Tissier. If there was a cohort group that was an alternative intake. The likes of Vardy, Klinsmann, Le Tiss, Sheringham, Gamdst Pederson, Paul McGrath, Colin Hendry, Ole, Riise, Cahill, Noble, Crouch, Kanu, Hasselbaink, Heskey, Ferguson, Di Canio, O’Shea, Okocha, Zola, Ginola.
At least a third of the inductees should be sourced outside of players that hoovered up trophies while in great teams.
Years away from adding all the ‘true’ hall of famers. Sprinkling in players that had a huge impact on the enjoyment of the league, without ever being the best player in it, is important in my opinion.
You can slightly devalue their inductions by inducting 5 at once or something.

He's not getting in until he's dead. Too insane.
Snubs are great for debate, hopefully this hall will offer plenty.The one who was even better than Beckham, Scholes and Giggs should not be in?
Crazy that Vidic isn't in yet. Alongside Henry, Ronaldo and De Bruyne he's the only player with 2 player of the year awards. The latter two will quickly be added when they retire as well.
The bastards will put van Dijk in before Vidic, which is scandalous.
How the feck has John Terry been nominated? The PL are blocking Giggs from being inducted so why not do the same with Terry who is a racist scumbag?
I'd add Emmanuel Eboue.
That’s kind of my point. He 100% should be in there and him being a monumental dickhead shouldn’t stop that.
He’s got one of the most impressive highlight reels in the leagues history, was a one club man, kept them in the league, was beloved as a player by all fans.
He’s what the Hall of Fame is for. I don’t think we should care that he’s thick.
Not worth taking seriously until Giggs is in it.
While I understand why they're blocking him, a Premier League Hall of Fame without Giggs slightly undermines it.
He does however, only have himself to blame.
Because they don't want to put someone in who is about to go to trial for assaulting a woman and will be all over the newspapers for however long the trials goes on for.
Terry went to court over a decade ago, everyone knows the outcome and there's no surprises to be had wheras god knows what's going to come out in the Giggs trial or how long it will last.
If you want to ban people who have said/done shitty stuff in the distant past then fair enough, that's a genuinely reasonable position but there's a few more on that list as well as Terry whose names need crossing out.
Le Tissier goes against the narrative and is very outspoken against the covid injections, i will be surprised if he gets a nom anytime soon.
All that needs to be said
Nice way of saying is a feckin idiot.
I’ll vote fellaini and Bially, plz
Owen, a world player of the year, and wonder kid supreme when he burst through is weaker than players like...Defoe.
Gotcha.
Yes he’s a weaker entry into a PL hall of fame.
Defoe was a cult hero at three or four different clubs, played 20+ seasons. Far more valid entry to the Hall of Fame.
That’s not shitting on Owen at all.

All deserving but Owen going in under United is
Andy Cole easily and it's a crime he wasn't included earlier.

Also I've probably already said this but ignoring Giggs is still weird. I know he's a massive twat but he'd literally be the first in on sporting achievement and it's odd to just pretend that didn't happen.
Neville and Cole probably. Terry in with a shout playing ability wise but if they're ignoring Giggs then should ignore him too.
Also weird when you don't ignore people like Terry.
Yeah good point. I think Giggs had an outstanding court case at the time they started this and now (correct me if I'm wrong) it's been dropped it's too weird to chuck him in as the 16th member or something.
This entire thing is very silly.
Surprised Boehly hasn't created a Chelsea HOF yet.
Giggs isn't being included because of the assault case, not because of the adultery.
On a separate note, I'm not getting this insistence of going at this pace. Eventually, all these nominess and a lot more will be included in HOF. First get all that done, and then you can go nominating 2 players into HOF a season
Yes, and I'd argue Terry shouldn't be included due to racism, not his adultery.
Is there even a proper ceremony for these? I can understand doing it slowly to give everyone their moment, but if it's just a poll that ends with them going "this player is now in" then it seems a bit daft.
They started this in 2021, so I'm not sure why they couldn't have just put Fergie, Wenger, and then say 20 players from the 90s and 00s in there.
Defoe? Come on now.
Exactly, they're wasting time doing it at this pace - Eventually all the nominees today + players like RVN, Irwin, etc. will be part of HOF (atleast should be). Just induct them at once and then do it at 2-4 inductees an year.
What's the point of this anyway?
Hall of fame, where's this hall anyway?
