One of the newer Halls of Fame that is big in our circle comes from across the pond in England, the Premier League Hall of Fame, and today they announced two new members: Wayne Rooney and Patrick Vieira.
Rooney began his EPL career with Everton in 2002, before transferring to Manchester United two years later, where he became one of the squad’s best players of all-time and all-time leading scorer. He did it all for Man U, leading them to Premier League Championships five times (2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 & 2013), the FA Cup (2016), the UEFA Championships League (2008), FIFA Club World Cu (2008) and the Europa Championship (2017). Rooney scored 208 Goals for Manchester United and is second all-time in EPL history.
From France, Vieira joined Arsenal in 1996, where the Midfielder played nine seasons. He anchored the Gunners to three League titles, including the undefeated 2003-04 Season, and amassed 29 Goals in 279 Games.
Rooney and Vieira bring the total of Premier League Hall of Fame inductees to ten.

Four new names have been chosen for the Premier League Hall of Fame this week, two yesterday (Eric Cantona and Roy Keane) and two today (Frank Lampard and Dennis Bergkamp).
Cantona was an enigmatic Frenchan who closed his career with Manchester United (1992-97), where he would become their captain. Scoring 64 Goals for Man U, Cantona brought four consecutive EPL Titles (1993-97) and two FA Cups.
Keane played for Manchester United from 1993 to 2005, where the Irishman was a massive part of seven EPL Titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League Title in 1999.
Lampard scored 177 Goals in the Premier League in a career spanning with West Ham (1995-01), Chelsea (2001-14) and Manchester City (2014-15). The Midfielder is Chelsea’s all-time leading scorer and led them to three Premier League Titles.
From the Netherlands, Bergkamp played his entire EPL career with Arsenal (1995-06), where he took the Gunners to two titles and scored 87 Goals.
These four join Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry who were the inaugural inductees last month.
