2010 National Soccer Hall of Fame Induction Class
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These are the results for the voting for the National Soccer Hall of Fame 2010 induction class. Thomas Dooley and Preki Radosavljević were selected for the Player category, Kyle Rote, Jr. as a Veteran and Bruce Arena as a Builder.
The Hall of Fame inducts individuals in three categories, Player, Veteran and Builder. The Hall of Fame also selects individuals for special awards including the Colin Jose Media Award, Eddie Pearson Award and a Medal of Honor.
Voting results
To be eligible in this category, a player must have been retired at least three years and not more than ten.[1] Voting began on November 7, 2009 and ended a month later. Any player who was named on at least 66.7% of the ballots cast was selected for induction. Any player who received less than 5% of the ballots was dropped from the Player eligibility list and will be placed on the Veterans eligibility list when they meet the criteria for that list.
Voters cast 117 votes. The balloting was tight with only two individuals exceeding the minimum of 66.7% required for induction.[2]
