The Premier League has officially named a list of 25 former players who will be qualified to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022.

Fans will now be able vote for their favorite six players who will be honoured alongside Wayne Rooney and Patrick Vieira this year.

The duo were introduced as the most recent arrivals earlier this week.

With 5 Premier League titles
491 appearances
208 goals
103 assists

Wayne Rooney is inducted into the League Hall of Fame.

?“I was very honoured and proud when I heard that I am being inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame. Playing in the Premier League was a true privilege. I really enjoyed that part of my career, and I would like to thank all my teammates who helped make it so special.” – Patrick Vieira

The EPL developed the shortlist using the career statistics of players who met the Hall of Fame selection requirements.

The amount of appearances, goals, assists, clean sheets, and individual and team honours are among the career statistics examined.

Players must have retired before January 1, 2022 to be entitled for the Premier League Hall of Fame, and only their Premier League career is evaluated in their nomination, not their performances in other competitions during the Premier League era.

Chelsea legends Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, Didier Drogba and John Terry have all been included on the shortlist to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
