The Premier League has announced a shortlist of 15 former players in the running to join its prestigious Hall of Fame this year, with Jermain Defoe and Michael Carrick receiving nominations for the first time.
A total of 16 English top-flight icons have been inducted into the Premier League's Hall of Fame since its inception in 2021, including the likes of Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer and David Beckham.
And earlier this week Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, who won 16 league titles between them at Manchester United and Arsenal respectively, also became the first managers to enter the esteemed club.
