Wayne Rooney and Patrick Vieira become latest Premier League Hall of Fame additions

Wayne Rooney and Patrick Vieira are the latest legends to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

The pair join the likes of Eric Cantona, Steven Gerrard, Alan Shearer, Roy Keane and Dennis Bergkamp in the Premier League ’s list of the greatest players to have graced the competition. Rooney and Viera were inducted into the hall of fame through a public vote, with fans recognising their history-making contribution.

Rooney is the League’s second highest scorer since it was created in 1992, and won the title five times, along with the player of the year award in 2009/10, and goal of the season in both 2004/05 and 2010/11. The award is the domestic League’s highest individual honour, and the former Everton and Manchester United star admitted it was a dream since he was a kid, watching his heroes.
