At the close of every season, the players of all Elite Division teams may nominate a player to be inducted into the Gridball Hall of Fame. The only rule is that they cannot nominate a current of former club or country team mate. Upon receiving an accumulation of fifty votes over the seasons, a player is inducted. Should they reach 100 votes, they are elevated into the Gridball list of Legends. Below are the Select few who have been elevated to legendary status by their peers.
