The Premier League has confirmed its shortlist for the 2025 Hall of Fame, featuring 15 legendary players who defined eras at some of the league’s biggest clubs.
Launched in 2021, the Hall of Fame celebrates individuals who have left an indelible mark on English football since the league’s inception in 1992.
It is described by the Premier League as “the highest honor awarded to individuals by the League.”
And this year, fans will once again decide who takes their place among the greats.
Public voting is now open via the Premier League’s website and official app, with supporters able to choose their favorites until 12:00 BST on Monday, September 15.
Two players will then be inducted at an exclusive ceremony in London on November 4.
Who is already in the Premier League Hall of Fame?
The Hall of Fame’s first inductees in 2021 included iconic names such as David Beckham, Dennis Bergkamp, Eric Cantona, Thierry Henry, Roy Keane, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Alan Shearer.
The following year, Sergio Aguero, Didier Drogba, Vincent Kompany, Wayne Rooney, Peter Schmeichel, Paul Scholes, Patrick Vieira and Ian Wright were added.
In 2023, managers Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger became the first managers to be honored, alongside Rio Ferdinand, Petr Cech and Tony Adams.
Last year saw the additions of Andy Cole, Ashley Cole and John Terry, bringing the current total up to 24 members.
