The Premier League is launching a Hall of Fame, with the first inductees to be announced in March.

Two players will be inducted initially alongside a shortlist of nominees for future inclusion, voted for by fans.

The Hall of Fame will recognise players of "exceptional skill and talent" from home and abroad who have played in the top division since it began in 1992.

Ryan Giggs, Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer and David Beckham have played in the Premier League.

A separate English Football Hall of Fame has existed since 2002 and is housed at the National Football Museum.

Candidates for the new Premier League Hall of Fame must have retired and only a player's Premier League career is considered.
