Drogba, Scholes, Others inducted into Premier League Hall of Fame

Sergio Aguero, Paul Scholes, Vincent Kompany, Didier Drogba, Ian Wright and Peter Schmeichel have been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

They join Wayne Rooney and Patrick Vieira as the latest players to become part of the Premier League’s Hall of Fame, taking the total up to 16.

The decision to them was based on a public online vote and the Premier League Awards Panel, with the Hall of Fame recognising the best players to have graced the league since its inception in 1992.

The Premier League Hall of Fame launched in 2021, with Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer the inaugural inductees.

David Beckham, Dennis Bergkamp, Eric Cantona, Steven Gerrard, Roy Keane, and Frank Lampard soon followed to complete the ‘Class of 2021’.
