Premier League Hall of Fame

Post by tiger76 » Thu Feb 27, 2020 11:07 pm

TBH i'm surprised it's taken 20 years to establish this idea.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51661041

My first inductees would be Giggs and Gerrard,but i suspect the public will disagree,we'll find out in March.

Henry,Shearer,Viera and Keane would be on my shortlist,anyone agree or disagree?.

I'm sure there's plenty of names i've omitted,sadly there won't be any Clarets considered,but who knows in 10/15 years time if we become a regular feature at the top table.

Aguero probably.

Giggs will be for the fact he won it a lot, but he was a bit ****. His goal return was abysmal. I know different era compared to wide men of today but his record against Beckham, Pires was shocking.

Got to be Shearer and Giggs for me.

One is top goal scorer in PL history and has the record for most goals in a season (albeit 4 more games for 2 more than Salah's total), the other is the top assist maker in PL history, has won the PL a record 13 times and has scored over 100 goals in the PL, which is a lot more than Pires ever had (Even bloody Theo Walcott has more goals than Pires).

Next in line for me would be Lampard, Henry, and Rooney (When he retires).

If they really must have one - this seems like a good basis of operation

- current plans opening it up to fans is just crap beyond belief - they will be restricting it to the madness of something like SOCIOS next

given it is fan based my guess first 2 will be a fight out between Cantona, Gerard and Henry

Giggs played 434 more games than Pires.

Not you, silly. I was obviously referring to the other Tony Scholes, he did some great things at Stoke :D

Klinsmann was a revelation.

Wayne Rooney started as a boy.
