The Premier League has announced the three latest inductees into the Hall of Fame for 2023.

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, Legendary Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech and perhaps the most influential Arsenal captain of all time, Tony Adams, are the latest inductees into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

Rio Ferdinand inducted into PL Hall of Fame

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was inducted into the Hall of Fame. The legendary centre-back, who also represented West Ham, Leeds United, and QPR in his career, was selected after a vote by fans across the world from a 15-person shortlist.

Ferdinand is one of the greatest Premier League defenders of all time, winning six Premier League titles and racking up 504 appearances.

Petr Cech inducted into PL Hall of Fame

The former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper becomes the second keeper to be added to the Hall of Fame, following Peter Schmeichel's induction last year.

In his first season in England, after signing for Chelsea, he conceded just 15 goals and kept 24 clean sheets, both records for a single season as the Blues won the Premier League title for the first time. 

This was the first of four titles he won with the club and Cech was the fastest keeper to reach 50 and 100 clean sheets in the top flight, while he also won four Golden Glove awards.

Tony Adams inducted into PL Hall of Fame

Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams becomes the 19th inductee into the PL Hall of Fame after a distinguished career for Arsenal.

Adams spent his entire career at Arsenal and captained the team for 10 years racking up 255 appearances and securing 115 clean sheets along the way.
