The Premier League has today opened a public vote which will help to determine the two legendary former players who will join its Hall of Fame in 2025.
The Hall of Fame recognises and celebrates individuals who have an exceptional record of success and have made a significant contribution to the Premier League since its inception in 1992. It is the highest individual honour awarded by the League.
Fans around the world are invited to make their selections from a shortlist of 15 former players via the Premier League app or at premierleague.com/halloffame, with the public vote closing at 12:00 BST on Monday 15 September.
The results of the fan poll will be presented to the existing 24 Premier League Hall of Fame members – including Sir Alex Ferguson, Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer – who will then cast their votes to decide who is inducted in 2025.
The two new inductees will be announced and celebrated at an exclusive event on Tuesday 4 November.
The following candidates have been nominated for the shortlist by the Premier League in collaboration with members of the Premier League Awards Panel.
