Chelsea v Bolton Wanderers - Premier League
He was regarded as the complete midfielder

Another name that became synonymous with a club: Chelsea's Frank Lampard. He was regarded as the complete midfielder, as he was able to pass, dribble and (obviously) shoot, given he's found his way to the fourth highest goalscorer in Premier League history.

Frank Lampard was making a name for himself in the West Ham U18s at the start of his career, turning the heads of the upper echelon who swiftly promoted him to West Ham's first team in 1995, when he was just 17-years-old.

He spent six months on loan at Swansea before he was thrust straight into the starting-eleven the following season, making 13 appearances for the Hammers. Frank Lampard spent eight years with West Ham, featuring in 148 matches and scoring 24 - which isn't bad for a central midfielder.

Lampard would be signed by Chelsea in the summer of 2001 for £14.5m, and it was at Stamford Bridge where the young midfielder would really develop his craft. He remained with Chelsea for 13 seasons, making a staggering 391 appearances and netting 147 goals!

In the summer of 2014, the time had finally come for Lampard to move on. He was given to New York City FC on a free transfer and spent a year there before being loaned to Manchester City for a season. Here, he scored six more goals to notch a grand total of 177 Premier League goals.

Lampard played for NYCFC for two more years, before retiring in February 2017.
