Once Rorigol comes back from his injury I'm pretty sure he'll be a certainty for this

I think they'll try to start without controversy so will go for two no brainers that almost every supporter respects. My guess is Henry and Shearer.

Shearer and ?

Probably Becks for the event publicity.

Giggs. Has to be.

All time top scorer and record PL winner means the first 2 are simply inarguable.

 

[MarkHollis]

Surely one for Hibbo

I'm sure a few on here wouldn't mind Steven Gerrard and Robbie Fowler as the first two !

The thing is Henry to me is a way better player than Ryan Giggs. So that would be an argument.

I think there's a real case that Henry is the best player in the almost 3 decade PL era. Do you think Giggs is in that discussion? And I just mean purely how good they were at their peak?

Genuinely asking, I didn't see 90s Giggs.

Peak Giggs was some player.

I'm sure I was at his debut game at Goodison as well, maybe wrong like.

 

[Grinch]

I would say Baines when he hangs it up. Absolutely changed the LB position forever

Well Giggs won 13 titles. More than anyone else. Shearer scored more goals than anyone else.

So I think, for the first 2 to go in, an objective analysis is more appropriate than a subjective opinion.

 

[longers]

How long until we have an all star game ? North v South

 

[heatmeiser]

Ian Walker for me. Legend.

His half-brother Robbie Savage must be in with a shout too

His dad is in the Colchester United Hall of Fame.

I kid you not.

I don't like using team championships as evidence for individual accolades in any sport. Those United sides were dominant because of a whole host of players who will eventually make this HOF. But if you look at it Giggs was the best player on how many of those teams? He won player of the year in 08/09 so give him that (even though I have questions about that one myself) and maybe some of the ones after Cantona left in the late 90s you could say he was the best guy, but it still feels like the bulk of it rests on team achievements which isn't what this is about imo.

Well like I said, FOR THE FIRST TWO EVER TO BE LOBBED IN IT, an objective measure of their PL achievements (which will be unlikely to be bettered), is a worthy measure of why they are selected.

No one can argue that Shearer scored more goals than anyone else, and no one can argue that Giggs hasnt won more titles than anyone else. Hence, no argument.
