On Monday, the English Premier League announced the first two representatives of the "Hall of Fame." Two legendary forwards received this prestigious recognition: Thierry Henry who shined in Arsenal and Newcastle legend Alan Shearer. The latter is still the all-time top scorer in the Premier League, having scored a remarkable 260 goals in 441 matches. Shearer played in the Premier League from its inception in 1992 until 2006. Henry joined Arsenal in 1999 and played there until 2007. The Frenchman briefly returned to the team in the 2011-2012 season. In the Premier League, T. Henry played a total of 258 matches, scoring 175 goals.
Two centre-forwards, both gifted with natural skill and talent who have written their names in Premier League history. We're delighted to announce Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry as the first two inductees of the #PLHallOfFame.
