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.

Example }} Junefith (talk) 20:44, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@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]

-:Well, it is highly debatable rating Alan Shearer as Englands's best ever centre-forward. There were better players than him in the [[1950s]] and [[1960s]] who played for England. However, Shearer is definitely one of the best centre-forwards England has ever produced and perhaps the best ever player to play for Newcastle. --<font style="background:gold">[[WP:EA|<font color="green">S</font>]][[User:Siva1979|iva1979]]</font><sup><font style="background:yellow">[[User talk:Siva1979|Talk to me]]</font></sup> 16:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

-: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Football_player_infobox The template says] to use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Football_player_infobox2 infobox2] for retired players. So I'd change it over to that for now. - [[User:Motor|Motor]] ([[User talk:Motor|talk)]] 16:03, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

-:: Done. [[User:Mark272|Mark272]] 10:40, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
-==Country of birth==
-Some people are changing it to United Kingdom rather than England. Which is correct, if any? [[User:Mark272|Mark272]] 14:30, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
-:United Kingdom is correct: England isn't actually a ''country'', in terms of "celebrity X was born in country Y".  However, in terms of football, FIFA ''does'' consider it so (AIUI), so when talking in terms of "celebrity X played for his native Y" you'd say England.  Does that make sense? [[User:MarkGallagher|fuddlemark]] ([[User talk:MarkGallagher|fuddle me!]]) 14:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
-: The division between Eng/Sco/Wa/NI is sharp (and heated!) in football... so I'd go with England. If nothing else, [[Wayne Rooney]], [[Michael Owen]], [[Rio Ferdinand]] and [[David Beckham]] all use England (and those were the first ones I checked). It might be worth asking on the template talk page if you want a more authoritative answer though. - [[User:Motor|Motor]] ([[User talk:Motor|talk)]]
