Frank Lampard

[Tomo 21,736]

10 years to the day since Mourinho arrived the first time Lamps leaves. I wonder what will happen on this day in 2024?

This feels strange, i have mentally prepared for this day ever since it looked liked he wasn't getting a new contract 18 months ago, or so i thought i did, nothing can prepare you for days like these.

Unfortunately there arent many decent English players left. No point in signing shit players just because they are English.

Fabregas counts as HG

Fabergas is past his prime id rather have kept Frank anyday

Some good posts written so far, and commendations very few players will receive.

Just like to add he was born into a footballing family - a relatively wealthy family, enabling him to go to a good school where he excelled academically, and from which could have chosen another career.

Luckily for chelsea fans he didn't, and the result, which I am certain led to a brilliant reading and anticipation of the game, gave us that rare phenomenum, an intelligent footballer.

Chelseas all time top goalscorer, with an A* in Latin has left the building.

I am so sad at this news, but realistically Lamps hasn't been good enough to compete at the very highest level on a consistent basis for a while now.

I really did hope he would end his career with us though.

I am very sad that if this is down to Chelsea not giving him a new deal.

I am bit angry as they could have told him and the fans and we would have had a chance to say goodbye.

He is such a legend he deserved a wonderful send off and allowing the fans to thank him. I'm absolutely gutted.

I was sad by David luiz but I'm heartbroken by Franks leaving

If he chose to leave I am also very sad

Arguably the greatest ever player to wear the Chelsea shirt is leaving without a proper goodbye. Damn, this sucks. Drogba left in the best way possible, unfortunately you can't say that for Lampard, who deserves it just as much.

If not with a major trophy, he should have at least been substituted in his final home game of the season so that he could receive a massive round of applause at Stamford Bridge, which he deserves more than anyone. Apparently nobody was truly prepared to see him leave this season, and in his last ever game for Chelsea he was subbed off at half time, ffs.

Can't believe I'm never going to hear the "Super, Super Frank" chant again.

'We have never seen his like in our midfield before, and will be blessed if we see his equal'

Fantatsic read!

This is such a raw day. It's horrible.

[The_Flash 1,144]

I think everyone needs a hug, I know I do

A true legend can never be replaced. He is Chelsea, he got the club so well.

He's been a Chelsea player for as long as I really remember so seeing a Chelsea team without him in the squad is going to be hard.

Thanks for the memories Frank, always in our hearts.

[The_Flash 1,144]

I'm just watching them talking about frank on SSN news I'm hanging a wee cry. God I'm such a girl

[Fulham Broadway 16,966]

Hopefully can return to the club in the future in some capacity.

Not as manager though, he'd only end up getting sacked

[xPetrCechx 13,564]

Decent Testimonial!

[Azpinator 2,325]

For such moments, words are hard to find..

He's made greatness, Super Frank is what my love for Chelsea is all about.

People talk about Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldo,... etc. but I will always be proud to say that Frank Lampard is my all-time top favourite player.

Forever in our hearts. Blue forever.

Player and person that shows all the best Chelsea club can give. 13 years ago seems like it was yesterday. He will go, but memories will stay forever.

My favourite player ever, he deserves testimonial or sth, he is without doubt greatest player ever wearing our shirt.

I can say Im only proud and thankfull that such great footballer decided to play for us for all these 13 years. Its been pleasure to watch him and I will never forget what he did to our club.

Legend, thank you very much and goodbye, I hope one day you return back home

Thank you, Frankie. I will miss you.
