Ex Man U captain, Roy Keane has been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame

It was gathered that two former United stars on Tuesday were handed special recognition awards. Eric Cantona and Keane were named to the Premier League Hall of Fame. They join Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry in what has been labelled the most prestigious honour awarded by the competition.

"I feel very lucky to be inducted but I've only been inducted because of the players I've played with," said ex-United captain Keane.

Cantona, meanwhile, felt his inclusion was warranted. "I am very happy and very proud but, at the same time, I am not surprised," said the former United talisman. "I would've been surprised not to be elected! I played football, I loved football, I dreamed about football as a kid. Of course to play in England was a dream, it was a dream for everybody, playing for the Premier League. I have been lucky to play in this team, with wonderful players, a wonderful manager and wonderful fans. We won and we really enjoyed [it], and it was the football I dreamed about because Manchester United, it's a club where they want to win things but in a good way. It was like this in the time of Matt Busby, it's the identity of this club and the philosophy of this club."
