A line-up of Premier League legends gathered in London tonight, for the first-ever Premier League Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Hall of Fame 2022 inductees Vincent Kompany, Wayne Rooney, Patrick Vieira and Ian Wright were in attendance and took to the stage alongside inaugural inductee Alan Shearer.
The ceremony, which was hosted by broadcaster Kelly Cates, saw each of the players formally receive their Hall of Fame medallions from Premier League Chief Executive, Richard Masters, in front of their families and guests including TV hosts Gary Lineker and Dan Walker, DJ Roman Kemp, music artist AJ Tracey and YouTubers Chunkz and Elz the Witch.
Manchester United duo Paul Scholes and Peter Schmeichel, Chelsea icon Didier Drogba and Manchester City’s all-time leading scorer Sergio Aguero shared video messages as they were unable to attend in person.
The Hall of Fame recognises and celebrates the exceptional skill and talent of individuals who have graced the Premier League since its inception in 1992. It is the highest individual honour awarded to players by the League.
All inducted players receive a medallion engraved with their name and the year of their induction, as well as a £10,000 donation from the Premier League to a charity of their choice.
