The Former Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United striker, Shearer still holds the record as the Premier League's highest scorer with 260 goals in 441 appearances across 14 seasons.
"When you look at some of the unbelievable players to have graced the Premier League - week in, week out, year in, year out - I feel very honoured to join the Hall of Fame," Shearer said.
Meanwhile France legend Henry was following his move to Arsenal from Juventus in 1999, won the Premier League title twice and was a key member of the 'Invincibles' team which went unbeaten during the 2003/04 title-winning season.
