Andy Cole and John Terry have been inducted into the Premier League’s Hall of Fame. The pair join Ashley Cole, who was voted in earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Hall of Fame honours players and managers that have made significant contributions to the success of the top flight, with 22 figures already inducted prior to Monday.<\/p>\n

The duo were selected from a shortlist of 15 former professionals after votes from fans worldwide were combined with those of the Premier League Awards Panel.<\/p>\n

Ashley Cole received the league’s highest honour this year, while Andy Cole and Terry become the 23rd and 24th inductees. All three will be recognised at a celebratory event in London on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Andy Cole represented seven different clubs while Terry spent his entire 19-year top-flight stint at Chelsea. Cole holds a number of records that remain to this day – as well as a few that were eclipsed recently by Erling Haaland.<\/p>\n

No player has ever had more goal involvements in one season (48 goals and assists in 1993-94), while only the Norwegian has more goals in their debut campaign than Cole’s 34, and has managed to reach 50 goals in fewer than the United legend’s 65 games.<\/p>\n

Cole – the league’s fourth-highest goalscorer – was a natural finisher; he was the first player to score five in a single match, and one of only three to have two or more hat-tricks at two clubs.<\/p>\n

After moving to Manchester United from Newcastle in 1995 for a British-record transfer fee, Cole won five Premier League titles, including three in a row between 1998\/99 and 2000\/01, delivering key goals in United’s historic treble-winning campaign.<\/p>\n

“I’m proud of everything I’ve achieved in football, which is thanks to my family, my coaches and my team-mates, and being inducted into the Hall of Fame makes me very proud,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Football is a game of ups and downs, but I enjoyed every single minute of my career. My dad wanted me to play cricket, but I said, ‘No dad, I think I’m good at football’. Looking back at my career always fills me with great pride and puts a smile on my face.<\/p>\n
