#1 Frank Lampard

For 13 years, Frank Lampard wore the blue of Chelsea, going from a young untested player into one of the greatest players in the club';s history.
For the entirety of Chelsea's dominance from the middle of the last decade, Frank Lampard was at the heart of it (literally), helping the club with his displays in midfield and earning widespread acclaim as one of the best midfielders in the world during his prime, winning everything winnable at club level, while also being named the second best player in the world in 2005.
Upon his retirement, 'Super Frankie' delved into management, being named as head coach of Championship side Derby County and he has performed creditably well there, as the club seeks promotion back to the Premier League.
Earlier in the season, he proved his managerial mettle when he tactically out witted former manager and all-time great Jose Mourinho as Derby knocked out Manchester United of the League Cup at Old Trafford, while he also took Chelsea all the way in the very next round.
Lampard has moved to distance himself away from the Chelsea role, but it might prove to hard to turn down the job if the club close to his heart comes knocking.
