JM pulled a "Raul"

Can't emphasise just how much my admiration of him stretches beyond simply his football ability. His dedication to his fitness was exemplary and something every young player should strive to emulate. His class on the pitch is also an example every player coming through the ranks should look to embody.

Off the pitch he's always been a top bloke too. Met him a few times in different situations and he's been nothing but welcoming and kind. Was especially good with my younger sister when I introduced her at a charity function. He was the first player I think she truly got interested in football through and he couldn't have been sweeter when I explained that. He seemed a bit embarrassed but took some time to chat with her when he really didn't have to.

Probably doesn't get mentioned much but he's got to be one of the best transfers in the history of the Premier League. The level of consistency he reached was remarkable, as was his ability to stay fit (another testament to his impeccable preparation on the training pitch which put those moronic 'Fat Frank' comments from those Hammers cunts into perspective).

A fantastic ambassador for this club and for this league. Wish him the best this summer too.

Yup a lot of female fans liked him

I have started to today still in a bit of disbelief. Looking at the midfield options is difficult right now, but I am sure the club have worked it all out, and which midfielder they will get 20 goals a season from now

He came as a young Hammer with some promise and with sheer hard work, dedication and professionalism, he has become a real Chelsea man, achieved legendary status and leaves as a true world class performer who has won everything in the club game for our beloved Chelsea.

Never will we see such tenure, achievements and this is why Frank Lampard is the best I've seen in Blue

amidst 13 trophy infested years.

Wow, one of the best ever players in world football in his prime.

I can't believe I'll rarely hear super frankie chants anymore.

I suggest we should have a super frank chant on the 8th minute of the first 8 matches at the bridge next season. In honour of or greatest player

So sad to see him go. A true living legend that won't ever be replaced.

Let's hope his spirit lives on in the iconic Chelsea number 8 and sets the standard for all those who wear it in the future.

Good luck and thank you.

I just wish we had won a trophy for Frank in his last season but oh well,He'll win the double as our manager in 2024 :blue scalf:

He also deserves credit for pushing himself even harder after Roman bought the club. He was by no means untouchable, but he simply made it so that even though we could buy any player on the planet we didn't need to replace him.

He's not the most technically gifted player I've ever seen (probably Zola, maybe Hazard), not the fastest (Terry Phelan still probably, although his hamstrings couldn't take it) and probably not the most elegant player (Neil Shipperley easily ....closely followed by Ballack who was just the most graceful player I've seen) but no-one I've seen from any club could time a run into the box like him. If Makelele defined the DM position for a generation, then surely Frank perfected the late-arriving, goalscoring midfielder role.

Typically, Adrian Durham is using Frank's departure to take a swipe at JT and the club

..and the 20+ goals a season wont be matched any time soon. Also if he had a crap game, you knew he'd be back the next one and score.

The other thing I liked about him were the post match interviews. The interviewer would undoubtably ask obvious or simplistic questions with which lampard would not patronise, but answer with a twinkle in his eye that said 'you thick cunt'.

Right, onwards and upwards, still I expect Rubber Bullets is pleased now useless Frank has gone

[Milan 17,957]

With his intelligence, I am more than sure he will make it to a top manager. He has spoken about this role and his badges quite a lot. The only thing, though, I am not sure whether I would want him at Chelsea. I would hate, hate to see him sacked. And honestly, we do it a quite a lot.

Even in the interviews with him, you could feel how he thinks about an answer and then puts it so well. Probably the smartest man on the football pitches. His IQ also allows him to enter Mensa, right? An exceptional man on and off the pitch, the best possible model for young boys. Young boys of all weights

Time to watch Lampard 203 video. Of course I'll watch the last eight too.

I shed a tear last night.

Thank you is just not enough for this man. 13 years of joy, pride, happiness but also grief and sadness, we've been through it all together. Frank, you are not just a player, for me you are a great person, great role-model and a true gentleman to look up to. I will tell stories to my grandchildren about a certain Sir Frank Lampard (because that is what you are, Sir Frank). I wanted you to kick your last football at Chelsea, but somehow it just wasn't meant to be. Anyway, this is not a goodbye, I'm sure you will be back soon where you belong.

Cheers, my Super Frankie !
