Former Fulham pair Edwin van der Sar and Andrew Cole have been nominated to join the Premier League hall of fame this year.
Dutch goalkeeper van der Sar stunned the footballing world by signing for newly-promoted Fulham from Juventus for £7m in the summer of 2001. He played a key part in re-establishing the Whites in the top flight making 154 appearances for Fulham and kept an extraordinary 52 clean sheets before joining Manchester United in June 2005.
England striker Cole first featured for Fulham as a teenager on loan from Arsenal in 1991, scoring three times in thirteen games, returning to Craven Cottage on a free transfer from Blackburn Rovers in the summer of 2004. The veteran topped Fulham’s goalscoring charts, scoring twelve goals in his single season in SW6, before joining Manchester City the following summer.
van der Sar and Cole are nominated alongside Sol Campbell, Michael Carrick, Jermain Defoe, Cesc Fabregas, Les Ferdinand, Robbie Fowler, Eden Hazard, Gary Neville, Michael Owen, David Silva, John Terry, Yaya Touré and Nemanja Vidic. The successful candidates are chosen through a combination of a public vote and votes from the Premier League awards panel and Hall of Fame inductees.
You can vote for van der Sar and Cole here until noon on Monday 8th April.
