Man City legend Vincent Kompany honoured by National Football Museum

Vincent Kompany has become the latest superstar to be inducted into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame.

The former centre-back spent 11 incredible years at Manchester City, helping them to break their trophy drought in the 2011 FA Cup final as well as scoring pivotal goals in the 2011/12 and 2018/19 title races. In total, Kompany won four league titles, two FA Cups and four League Cups with the Blues and his impact was so enormous at the club that there is now a statue outside the Etihad in his honour.

Kompany's efforts have now received wider recognition for his contribution both on the pitch and for his charity initiatives, including his efforts to tackle homelessness in Manchester through Tackle4Manchester. The National Football Museum have honoured the defensive titan with a place in their Hall of Fame in a ceremony at the Leisure Box in Burnley, part of the Burnley in the Community foundation at the club where Kompany is now manager.
