AMA banner

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville and Chelsea winger Eden Hazard have become the latest inductees into the Premier League's Hall of Fame.

The body was formed in 2021 to recognise and celebrate the achievement of players and managers who made significant contributions to the Premier League since it was formed in 1992.

There are currently 26 members, including managers Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.

Players must have retired by 1 January 2025 to be considered.

Who decides who is included?

In 2025, 17 former players were shortlisted based on previous voting data, the era they played in, the position they played in as well as their achievements in the top-flight.

Previously inducted hall of fame members and the general public then vote to decide who will be included.

Those selected receive a medallion engraved with their name and the year of their induction, as well as being recognised at a ceremony in November.
