 Former English stars, David Beckham and Steven Gerrard have been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame 2021.

The duo has captained the England National Team with their remarkable and incredible performance on the field of play.

It is also interesting to note that both Beckham and Gerrard also captained Manchester United and Liverpool respectively bringing gold and honour to their lovely clubs.

The Manchester United icon on one side won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups as well as the Champions League during his time at Old Trafford.

While the Reds Legend at Anfield recorded two FA Cups, three League Cups, the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup.

The erstwhile Manchester United striker was famed for his pinpoint passing and crossing ability, with 18 top-flight goals recorded from trademark free-kicks, a record at the highest level in England that still stands to this day.

"It's an honour to be inducted into the inaugural Premier League Hall of Fame alongside these legends of the game and league.

"The Premier League was such an important part of my career and life and I'm delighted to be recognized alongside these icons who I played with, competed with and looked up to.

"This is made even more of an honour for me knowing that it was down to the fans. This past year or so has shown just how important fans are to the game and it's so great to see them slowly being able to come back to stadiums because they make football truly special.

"I've always said that throughout my playing career and beyond, I'm so lucky to have incredible fans who supported me no end so thank you to everyone who voted," Beckham told the Premier League’s official website page on being voted into the Hall of Fame.

The Premier League board said of Steven Gerrard as, "the driving force in Liverpool's midfield for 17 years, Gerrard inspired his team-mates with surging runs, pinpoint passes, talismanic tackles and spectacular strikes, scoring 120 goals and providing 92 assists in the competition.

"Gerrard made 504 PL appearances between 1998 and 2015, all for Liverpool, and is one of only two players to make at least 500 appearances for the club in the competition, along with Jamie Carragher (508)."

Gerrard and Beckham now sit alongside Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Dennis Bergkamp and Frank Lampard in the Hall of Fame.
