Frank Lampard wins Special Recognition Award

Super Frankie Lampard received a Special Recognition Award at the Annual Player of the Year awards last night and it’s also worth mentioning that he was on the shortlist of four players for the main award of the evening.

Just days after Lampard broke Bobby Tambling’s all time Chelsea goal record, Tambling himself presented Lampard with the award. Tambling described Lampard as “Chelsea’s best ever!”

Lampard spoke after receiving the award, of breaking the record and said:

Getting the equalising goal on the day and drawing level with the great man himself was a big deal for me. It was such a huge game for us, and I kind of felt it would be the day after scoring the first one.

‘I can’t really explain it. I thought it would be good when I done it, but I didn’t realise quite how good it would feel. To have the fans at Aston Villa and my team-mates celebrating with me at the end was quite emotional for me, so thanks to all the lads.’

Frank Lampard, Chelsea Legend and all time record goal scorer!
