Overview

• The public vote is open on the Premier League website and app until midday Monday 15 September, with the existing 24 Hall of Famers reviewing results before two inductees are announced at a London ceremony on Tuesday 4 November.
• Seven former Manchester United players are nominated: Michael Carrick, Patrice Evra, Gary Neville, Michael Owen, Teddy Sheringham, Edwin van der Sar and Nemanja Vidic.
• The other nominees are Sol Campbell, Jermain Defoe, Cesc Fabregas, Les Ferdinand, Robbie Fowler, Eden Hazard, David Silva and Yaya Toure.
• Ryan Giggs, a 13-time Premier League winner and the competition’s all-time assists leader with 162, was omitted for a fourth year, drawing fan criticism and renewed discussion of how off-field controversies shape recognition.
• Rhodri Giggs publicly condemned the decision on social media, and each eventual inductee will receive a personalised medallion plus a £10,000 Premier League donation to a charity of their choice.
