Frank Lampard

Celebrity bio

League title winning-goals, FA Cup and Champions League Final strikes, nerveless penalty taking, assists galore and record-breaking sequences of appearances, Frank Lampard has been both the man for the big occasion, and for the week-in, week-out dedication that is the bedrock of genuine achievement. He is without doubt one of the finest players ever to wear the Chelsea blue.

Lamps has become Chelsea's top scoring midfield player ever; and is the player to win the most international caps while a Chelsea player.

On April 6^th in a home Champions League game against Manchester United, he become only the fourth player to make 500 appearances for Chelsea. 

International Career

After a debut against Belgium in 1999, Frank would have to wait until June 2003 to feature for a full 90 minutes in an England shirt, and he scored his first goal that August against Croatia.

He was well worth his place in the Euro 2004 team and was voted the England team's Player of the Year after three goals in four tournament games, and he won the poll again in 2005.

Frank went into the 2010 World Cup in red-hot scoring form, even by his own extraordinary standards.

However as Capello played with the jigsaw of England's midfield, Frank's goal threat again appeared diminished although he was one of the best players against Slovenia in the third group game, and was infamously denied his first World Cup goal by a ludicrous linesman's decision as England exited versus Germany.

A hernia operation meant he sat out the beginning of England's Euro 2012 qualifying campaign but he returned in 2011 with goals and victories with the three lions on his chest.

No Chelsea player has won more international caps while playing for the club.
