Newcastle United legends Les Ferdinand and Andy Cole have been nominated for a place in the Premier League's Hall of Fame. The league began inducting legends of the competition in 2021, with fellow Magpies legend and the man with the most Premier League goals, Alan Shearer, inducted in the first class.
Ferdinand received his nomination for a body of work which includes 14 seasons in the division. Two of those were at St James' Park, where he scored 41 goals for Newcastle in just 68 Premier League appearances.
The former England international had his best goal scoring season of his career in 1995/96 as he scored 25 goals for Kevin Keegan's side. Sadly, the club fell just short of the title as they finished second in a close battle with Manchester United, which saw the Magpies finish only four points behind Sir Alex Ferguson's team.
