Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney and former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira were inducted on Wednesday into the Premier League Football Hall of Fame.
The duo holds the ninth and tenth numbers in the list of the most prominent stars of the league, occupying a prominent place in the Hall of Fame with David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Alan Shearer, Dutchman Dennis Bergkamp, Ireland’s Roy Keane and French Eric Cantona and Thierry Henry.
Rooney, who is currently supervising the training of Derby County in the reserve championship, is ranked second in the list of top scorers in the Premier League with 208 goals scored in the “Red Devils” and Everton shirts.
“It is a great honor for me to be in the Premier League Hall of Fame, alongside such an impressive group of players,” said the 36-year-old former international striker.
“When I was growing up, I watched the Premier League as much as I can remember. It has always been my dream to be a footballer, score goals and win trophies and I have been lucky enough to win the Premier League five times and I have so many great memories during my career with Everton and Manchester United and I am proud of what we have achieved.”
For his part, Vieira, the current Crystal Palace coach, played 307 matches in the league and won the title three times, while holding the captain’s armband for Arsenal “Invincible”, which is still the only team to win the title without losing a match.
“It’s a fantastic achievement to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame,” said the France World Cup winner, who ended his playing career with Manchester City.
And the 45-year-old former midfielder added: “When I received the news, I remembered when I was young, playing in Senegal, or in one of the suburbs of Paris, and having my name with these players makes me feel proud and realize how good I was.”
The Hall of Fame honors the best players to have played in the Premier League since its launch in 1992.

New controversy in Karnataka after hijab, Muslim vendor ban, karnataka, karnataka hijab issue
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
BENGALURU: Muslim traders have reportedly been barred from setting up shops for the festival at the Hosa Margudi temple in Udupi. The state government has said it will take action on the issue following posters appeared across Karnataka demanding that Muslims not be allowed in temple festivals.
In previous years, the festival at the temple was traded without any distinction between Hindus and Muslims. More than 100 Muslim vendors set up stalls here every year. But this time the temple authorities came to the scene and stopped it. NDTV quoted temple officials as saying that this was due to pressure from some right-wing organizations.
‘We went and met the temple committee members and they told us that the decision was to auction the stalls only for Hindus. We had to admit this. They are under pressure from some organizations, ”said Mohammad Arif, general secretary of the Udupi Street Vendors Association.
The Endowment Act states that the buildings or premises of the temple cannot be ceded to non-Hindus. However, for years Hindus and Muslims have been peacefully attending the fair at the Hosa Marigudi Temple. There are indications that the recent controversy over the hijab may have prompted some organizations to do so.
The government has promised to take action following the issue is discussed in the state assembly. Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and Congress leader UT Khader said that Muslims are not allowed to set up stalls not only in temple fairs but also in the streets. But Law Minister Madhuswamy said the government would not encourage such a ban. He added that the government would take action if banners were placed outside the temple premises.
Karnataka Home Minister Araga Gyanendra has sought a report from the police on the incident, promising that the government would closely monitor the law and order situation in the state.
