Frank Lampard Becomes Fifth Player To Enter Premier League’s
Hall of Fame
Former Chelsea manager and club
legend, Frank Lampard has become the fifth player to be inducted into the
Premier League Hall of Fame
Lampard was an integral part of
the London club which saw him win three premier league titles, one UEFA
champions league cup, and four FA Cup trophies.
The 42-year-old also holds the
record for being the highest goal-scoring midfielder in the premier league with
177 goals in 609 appearances for West Ham, Chelsea, and Man City clubs.
In a question and answer session
shared on Dailymail, Lampard was full of praise for his uncle, Harry Redknapp,
who he claimed was responsible for his first big break in football, he also
credited the Portuguese, Jose Mourinho for his influence on his career, though
the duo would later fall out in the latter stages of their campaign.
Speaking on his fellow inductees,
the 2005 FIFA Player of the Year: Silver Award stated he had always idolised
them while growing up and was honored to be amongst the class of players.
The Englishman joins the likes of
Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Roy Keane, and Eric Cantona in the Hall of Fame.
