Hi, I am contacting you to ask if I can make a modification to your page. With the introduction of the new Premier League Hall of Fame. I believe a valid inclusion to Alan's profile would be for him to have an Honours section below his "Team Managed Section" in his profile which would include his induction in the Hall of Fame, further attributing to his greatness as a Footballer. As a case study in American Sports, the same formula is used on different athletes profiles on their designated Wikipedia Pages if indeed they are selected as Hall of Famers.

@Junefith: Shearer's inclusion in the Hall of Fame is already listed in the "Honours" section, it's in the "Individual" sub-section. Can you spot it? Robby.is.on (talk) 21:43, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
