Petr Cech joins Rio Ferdinand in being inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame for 2023... as the former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper insists it is 'special recognition' that 'leaves a legacy'

Petr Cech has joined Rio Ferdinand in being inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame for 2023.

The former goalkeeper - who represented Chelsea and Arsenal in his career - was selected after a vote by fans across the world from a 15 person shortlist.

Cech becomes the 18th player to join the Hall of Fame after eight legendary stars were inducted in both 2021 and 2022 and Ferdinand was the first to be added this year.

He joins Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Ferdinand in the 'Class of 2023', with Ferguson and Wenger the first managers to ever be inducted.
