Restored revision 1024048041 by Koncorde (talk): Changes are not supported by sources, introduce WP:OR and criteria that the HOF states are not used for inclusion. Also stating that you are not going to edit war, while edit warring, is ironic.

I am trying to make this page as informed as possible and I'm using the same references which are used on the Premier League Website using the titles and significant individual achievements that are encompassed on that page. You have removed other valid information for no reason at all and have limited this pages informity. In regards to edit warring I have tried to discuss changes and have been reluctantly ignored. If I can avoid edit warring and come to compromise I would much prefer that

The '''Premier League Hall of Fame''' aims to honour players who have shown exceptional skill at [[association football]], and have had a significant influence on the [[Premier League]]. Founded in 2021, it is an online-only entity, as opposed to the [[English Football Hall of Fame]], which has a physical location in [[Manchester]]. The Hall inducts between four and six new individuals each year, with each induction to be broadcast nationally on [[Sky Sports]].

For a player to be eligible on the ballot for Hall of Fame honours, he must be fully retired before the start of the rewarding season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.premierleague.com/hall-of-fame|title=Premier League Hall of Fame Announces Modifications to its Enshrinement Process Beginning with the Class of 2021 |work=Premier League Hall of Fame |access-date=April 26, 2021}}</ref> If a player retired for a short period, then his case and eligibility are reviewed on an individual basis. As part of the inaugural class of 2021, two players were inducted to the Hall - [[Alan Shearer]] and [[Thierry Henry]] - with six more set to be inducted based on the results of a public opinion poll.<ref>{{cite web |title=Alan Shearer & Thierry Henry inducted into Premier League Hall of Fame |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56884994 |website=BBC News |publisher=BBC |access-date=19 May 2021}}</ref>

==Requirements==
Players must have retired before the start of the awarding season and are only judged on their domestic performances. Players must have made 250 appearances or if not satisfy one of the following:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.premierleague.com/hall-of-fame/FAQ|title=FAQ|publisher=[[Premier League]]|access-date=26 April 2021}}</ref>
* 200 Premier League appearances for one club

* [[List of footballers with 100 or more Premier League goals|Scored 100 Premier League goals]] or [[List of Premier League goalkeepers with 100 or more clean sheets|recorded 100 Premier League clean sheets]] (GK only)

The Premier League Hall of Fame aims to honour players who have shown exceptional skill at association football, and have had a significant influence on the Premier League. Founded in 2021, it is an online-only entity, as opposed to the English Football Hall of Fame, which has a physical location in Manchester. The Hall inducts between four and six new individuals each year, with each induction to be broadcast nationally on Sky Sports.

For a player to be eligible on the ballot for Hall of Fame honours, he must be fully retired before the start of the rewarding season.[1] If a player retired for a short period, then his case and eligibility are reviewed on an individual basis. As part of the inaugural class of 2021, two players were inducted to the Hall - Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry - with six more set to be inducted based on the results of a public opinion poll.[2]

Requirements

Players must have retired before the start of the awarding season and are only judged on their domestic performances. Players must have made 250 appearances or if not satisfy one of the following:[3]

It has yet to be confirmed whether managers or referees will be eligible for the Hall of Fame.
