Drogba had the moments, Zola had the magic, but Lampard stands alone as our best ever player. The man was a machine and a goal-scoring monster. The 164 consecutive games PL played from midfield(!) was testament to his consistency and reliability. The fact that that record was held by mostly goalkeepers tells you something. His goal-scoring ability could rival that of almost any WC striker in his prime. His passing ability and contribution in defense is also pretty underrated. He's the best box-to-box midfielder I've ever seen in my two decades watching football. It will be a long time till we see another central midfielder who scores 250+ goals in his career. I heard there's a testimonial against Bolton, the team he scored two goals against to give us our first title in 50 years. A fitting end. If God could let me pick one football player from any point in history to represent Chelsea, I will pick Sir Frank Lampard 10 times out of 10.
