The Frank Lampard tribute thread.

[Winston Smith]

Heard on the radio earlier that in world cups he had in total 97 shots on goal, and never scored a single one of them.

Obviously a good player at club level and one that might make it into most squads, but simply never cut it at the very top level.

2nd

I'm envious of Franks success and I'm just trying to fish

Yep.

Predrag Mijatović came 2nd in the Ballon D'or in 1997.

Who? Exactly.

[Winston Smith]

Noticed Rafa Nadal looking absolutely devast8ed at the weekend after being 2nd best at tennis. Not like Frank and his fanboys who are still celebrating not being the best more than a decade on.

Agree on your general point here, but Mijatovic is a f*cking legend!

[gazzer, loyal royal]

file under David Beckham for me. Good player but made better by the system that they played in. Certainly wouldn't get anywhere near my best all time premier league XI

That makes no sense to me. Chelsea's system was so effective in part because Lampard was so good in his role.

Depending on formation, I'm with gazzer. Scholes and Viera would get in there ahead of him.
