LEGEND EDDIE\'S ACCOLADE

United legend in the Class of 2013 for Football Hall of Fame…

The National Football Museum has inducted 10 legends in to its Hall of Fame - including our own Elland Road hero Eddie Gray.

Eddie played over 400 games for the club scoring over 50 goals in the process has now been recognised of as one of the games greats.

Eddie, who has served the club for over 50 years as a player, manager, coach, and an ambassador, said it was an honour to be inducted into the Hall of Fame: “I played in a great Leeds team that did not always get the credit it deserved. It is nice to see us now being recognised.”

Inductees have been chosen by a panel featuring some of the biggest names in football including, the Museum’s President Sir Bobby Charlton, Vice President Sir Alex Ferguson, Gordon Taylor and Mark Lawrenson. They must have finished their playing career or be aged over 30 and have played or managed in England for at least five years to qualify for Hall of Fame nomination.

National Football Museum Director Kevin Moore said: “We are delighted to be able to recognise the achievements of these legendary players in this way. It’s a rare chance to see some of the biggest players in football history celebrating their success together. We’re also extremely grateful to the PFA for their continued support of the event which also raises vital funds for the work we do with schools and the local community”

The National Football Museum provides a world-class home for the greatest collection of football memorabilia ever assembled, in addition to housing its nationally-recognised Hall of Fame in Manchester.
