The Hall of Fame is housed at The National Football Museum in Preston, England. The Hall aims to celebrate and highlight the achievements of top English Footballers and Footballers who have played in England. New members are added each year, with a ceremony described as the Oscars of English Football being held in October.

The Hall honours many top footballers from history and is on permanent display at the National Football Museum. A book, "Hall of Fame, Football’s Greatest Heroes: The National Football Museum Hall Of Fame", was published in October 2005 by Robson Books.
