Definition of Premier League Hall of Fame

Everyone has their own list of best players to ever play in England. However, the Premier League have decided to make an official list. The Premier League Hall of Fame is an attempt to engage fans and reward those players who truly reached the top during their playing days.

The initial 2 players to be inducted on the list are strong ones: EPL all-time top scorer Alan Shearer and legendary Arsenal and Barcelona striker Theirry Henry. However, these are only the first ones on the list.

The EPL is having fans vote on the next 6 entries into the Hall of Fame. These options include David Beckham, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Didier Drogba, Ashley Cole, Paul Scholes, Eric Cantona, Tony Adams, Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen, Roy Keane, Patrick Viera, Robin van Persie, Nemanja Vidic and Dennis Berkamp to name just some of the options.

The voting closes on May 9 for fans on the official Premier League site. It can only be assumed that this list will be expanded over time with more and more of the greatest players to ever ply their trade in England's top flight. Obviously, all of these players can make an argument for their place in the Hall of Fame, but it seems that the Premier League wants to make it a competition of popularity.

Regardless, whoever gets voted in next will surely deserve their spot alongside the all-time best to play in the English Premier League.
