News - Hall of Fame 2008
The National Football Museum Hall of Fame 2008 awards dinner will take place on Thursday 18th September at the Millennium Mayfair Hotel in London. This is the first time that the event will go to the capital city and is expected to be the biggest and best to date.
As an indication of the growing awareness of the importance of the Hall of Fame, the National Football Museum has been invited to stage an additional Hall of Fame awards dinner this year in Liverpool at ACC Liverpool on Wednesday 8th October as part of the European Capital of Culture celebrations. The Selection Panel have deliberated to select the greatest players and managers of all time in the English game based on performance in Europe. Awards will be presented at a never to be repeated exciting evening with the official support of UEFA.
With a guest list which reads like a who’s who of football legends, the two National Football Museum’s Hall of Fame events are expected to be hugely popular - reinforcing its reputation as one of the most prestigious and eagerly anticipated events in the English football calendar. Tickets will go on sale soon and are expected to go very quickly. Watch this space...
The events are black-tie.
