Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry the first inductees into Premier League Hall of Fame
PL Hall of Fame recognises players who have demonstrated an exceptional record of on-pitch success and have made important contributions; Shearer and Henry will feature in a special programme on Sky Sports Premier League on Monday from 6pm in which the pair look back at their careers.
Shearer said: “When you look at some of the unbelievable players to have graced the Premier League – week in, week out, year in, year out – I feel very honoured to join the Hall of Fame. I have to thank all of my team-mates, as well as the managers and coaches that I’ve worked with.
“All I ever wanted to be was a professional footballer. It was my dream to do that, my dream to win trophies and my dream to score at St James’ Park, to wear the number nine black-and-white shirt and it was fantastic. I enjoyed every minute of it.”
