Shearer & Henry Named As First Two Inductees Into Premier League Hall Of Fame

The top scorer in the competition’s history and an Arsenal legend have been honoured for their stellar contributions to the English game

Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry have been named as the first two inductees into the Premier League’s Hall of Fame.

Former Blackburn and Newcastle striker Shearer and ex-Arsenal talisman Henry have been honoured as part of the initial class of 2021, becoming the only two automatic selections in the group which will also include a further six players after a public vote.

Shearer earned his spot by becoming the all-time leading scorer in the Premier League across 14 seasons, while Henry has been recognised for becoming the top scorer in Arsenal’s history and winning four Golden Boots.
