maqroll Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I like that they're doing this. It's a fun way to honor former greats and reminisce about bygone years. In the States we also induct coaches and announcers and there's a ceremony and speeches. A good day out for family and friends and a formal way for inductees to say their piece. No Villans in there yet. Who would our first inductee be? Sadly, probably no Villa player in the PL era makes the cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted April 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2022 I quite like the concept and the players themselves seem pleased with it. Names that’s spring to mind for me are Milner and Young, but not necessarily for what they did for us. Most likely, maybe Gareth Barry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And current Villa legend Steven Gerrard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 McGrath would be our obvious choice but slim pickings after that. Barry, Yorke maybe? However, more likely for their time with other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there is any other contender for this and how far off to his record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) American nonsense Barry will make in there one day, so will Milner, Schmeichel must be in there already? James, heskey and Yorke will make it in there before mcgrath, the representation of all the various clubs will be shit, we all know how this is going to go Edited April 23, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Hall of fame in general is not a bad idea. NHL:s in Toronto is a great visit. But Premier League? Not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me. That's my problem with it, it feels like a tacky steal from other American sports 30 years after the PL started let alone how many years after the football league started, it wipes out a huge chunk of history and it will be heavily weighted to the PLs favoured clubs especially if they any kind of fan involvement Where will they build the money spinning tourist trap where you get to see a Paul Scholes shin pad? Manchester or London? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
