Former Man Utd forward Eric Cantona named in Premier League Hall of Fame after fans' vote; Frenchman won four league titles in his five seasons at Old Trafford; Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry were the first players given honour last month
Cantona scored 70 goals in 156 Premier League appearances for United, where he won the league title four times in five seasons at Old Trafford before his retirement in May 1997.
The former France international is the first of six inductees chosen from a 23-man shortlist after a fans' vote.
Former England striker Alan Shearer and ex-France forward Thierry Henry became the first players announced into the Premier League Hall of Fame last month.
The honour recognises players who have demonstrated an exceptional record of on-pitch success and have made important contributions in the division since its creation in 1992.
In order to be eligible for induction, players must have been retired by August 1, 2020.
