The Gwladys Street's Hall of Fame celebrates the men who have contributed to the history of English football club Everton.

Formation

The Hall of Fame was conceived by David France and inaugurated in 1996.[1] Initial inclusion was decided by a panel of players, journalists, shareholders and season-ticket holders who assessed the accomplishments of the candidates during their careers at Everton.[2] It began with 75 peerless players and five eminent club officials.[1] Additional members have been elected by Everton supporters via annual postal ballots and internet polls.

The Hall of Fame has been celebrated annually at the Britannia Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool.

Membership

As of 2009, there are 126 members of the Hall of Fame.[3]

Images and biographies of these men are included in the three books associated with the Hall of Fame[2][4][5] and a video produced for the 2009 celebrations. The Hall of Fame has been celebrated annually at the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool. These events have provided opportunities for fans to interact with their heroes.[6]
