I saw this article earlier today and was intrigued on who they would pick for an inaugural Hall of Fame class (if one existed for the Premier League).  I'm quite shocked that Gerrard is in over Lamps or Terry.

Just shows you how Fukin ignorant ESPN is.  Total arseholes.

And the stupid farkers tried to emulate the baseball hall of fame which had a first induction class of five players back in the 1930s.  Like that is relevant for a fake football hall of fame!?  Give me a break, and ESPN should stick to sports that they know something about, which clearly is not football.

 

i mean, they have the chinless wonder more commonly known as Ian Darke on their staff.  Case closed.

Not surprised at all, would have to squeeze Gerrard in somewhere, his greatest moments include, an own goal equaliser in cup final which his side eventually lost, back pass in 2004 euros that lead to a penalty in final minute which cost England game, and a miss control and slip that cost his side a title, his influence in big games was immense!! Why would you include the best and most successful and top scoring centre back in premier League history, or the highest scoring midfielder in premier League history who scored in countless cup finals and was runner up in balloon for!

Utterly clueless. Noone can argue with Henry, Shearer or Giggs, but to put Scholes and Gerrard before JT and Lamps is not rational.

Like I said , ESPN are idiots.  And to leave out a defenseman (heck, including Vidic as one of the top 5 would have been better than choosing Scholes and Gerard), but one of Terry and Lamps had to have been included.

I don't really understand the list, Henry, Giggs sure I get that but suddenly to include Gerrard is just a super weak pick.

You have to have a quite compelling argument to put someone into the hall of fame of a league they never even won a title in...... and I fail to see how Gerrard provides that considering some of the other options who have won the title multiple times....

 

 

hahaha actually read the article....think they kept a straight face when writing Gerrard's PL achievements?

Significant statistics:
-- 504 games played: 120 goals, 92 assists
-- Most Premier League assists by a Liverpool player
-- Second-most Premier League appearances by a Liverpool player (Jamie Carragher, 508)
-- Second-most Premier League goals by a Liverpool player (Robbie Fowler, 128)

 

 

None of the 3 "mosts" are for the league, but just LFC....and half the entries showing he wasn't even the record holder in his own club, let alone the league hahaha.

Guess they didn't want to compare his goals, assists....or even appearances....to other PL midfielders.....wonder why....

They really didn't want to put terry in, Ashley Cole was in ahead of terry on the next 5! Jesus.
