Remove Sun Jihai from the Football Hall of Fame

Remove Sun Jihai from the Football Hall of Fame

The Issue

Sun Jihai is a little known player who has just been inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame.

Sun Jihai scored just 4 goals in 165 club appearances for English clubs and now sits amongst greats like George Best, Jimmy Greaves, Paul Gascoigne, Bobby Charlton and Eric Cantona. 

This is a clearly a political appointment to appease the President of China Xi Jinping as he made a State visit to England and the National Football Museum

This induction makes a complete mockery of the selection process, the historic inductees and footballing history generally. 

Kevin Moore the Director of the National Football Museum and other senior managers must remove Sun Jihai from the Hall of Fame with immediate effect to ensure its integrity of recognising footballing greatness.

The Hall of Fame should never be used to score political points or appease powerful countries.
