The Dundee United Players’ Hall of Fame was established in 2008, with the first inductees being chosen by means of a popular vote amongst supporters. Several hundred supporters took part in this vote through the Club’s weekly enewsletter, with each of those taking part nominating five players.
As a result of this, plus the deliberations of the Hall of Fame Committee, seven legendary former players were inducted at the inaugural Hall of Fame Dinner in January 2008.
Since then this annual event has witnessed more Club legends inducted in to the Hall of Fame based on criteria including career achievement, service recognised, landmark occasions and cult/iconic status. More recently in 2014, ArabTRUST who have sponsored each of the events from 2008 have inducted a fans' favourite selected by Trust members into the Hall of Fame.
