The Premier League Hall of Fame is an online association football hall of fame for the Premier League, the top division of English football. The Hall of Fame is intended to recognise and honour players and managers that have achieved great success and made a significant contribution to the Premier League.[1] The Hall of Fame was announced in 2020 and the first inductions took place in 2021.
Inductees are awarded an engraved medallion, and attend a formal induction ceremony attended by other inductees and friends and family.
The Premier League was founded in 1992, when the clubs of the First Division left the Football League and established a new commercially independent league that negotiated its own broadcast and sponsorship agreements.[2] The new division created a range of awards to commercialise and raise the profile of its players and managers. These awards have become part of the selection criteria for prospective inductees.
The initial range of awards are made by a mix of an expert panel and public opinion poll.
- Premier League Manager of the Month
- Premier League Player of the Month
- Premier League Manager of the Season
- Premier League Player of the Season
- Premier League Young Player of the Season
A further group of awards are made based on achieving the highest total of goals, assists or clean sheets in the league.
In 2003, the Premier League held its first collective award ceremony for its first decade at the Premier League 10 Seasons Awards. It followed this up with the Premier League 20 Seasons Awards. This saw the award of fantasy Teams of the Decade using a variety of different selection criteria including public and expert vote, and domestic and overseas players.
Since the 2017–18 season, the Premier League has also awarded Milestone awards for players who achieve 100 appearances and every century there after and also players who score 50 goals and multiples thereof. Each player to reach these milestones is to receive a presentation box from the Premier League containing a special medallion and a plaque commemorating their achievement.[3]
