Why is Frank Lampard considered a great midfielder?
Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Micah Richards, Alan Shearer and me, Gareth Inica, in our latest episode of Premier League Greats, the moments that made them. We're going to discuss someone that we've all worked with, recently retired, he's now into management. Doing particularly well at the moment. But he's really known for being one of the great, great midfield players of Premier League history. And probably the greatest goal-scoring midfielder, I would suggest, a certain Frank Lampard.
Yeah, super Frankie Lampard.
How was he to play with? You go first.
Yeah, I think the thing that sticks out for me is his goals tally. I mean, for a midfielder.
What made Frank Lampard's goal-scoring record exceptional?
And the number of times, and I'm sure that, and the clips we'll see is that, he got on the end, the timing of his runs under the box were like incredible.
177 Premier League goals.
177.
Wow. Bloody hell.
Maybe he's a little bit disrespected, actually. Maybe I was part of that. Yeah, because I remember the conversation I was talking about. Is this when you fell out? Oh, we're going back there, are we?
How did Lampard's early career shape his future success?
Now that you said it. Talking straight. I mean, I can't believe you fought him. No, I didn't. I didn't. Well, I did, but I didn't. Yeah. Because he's a nice, humble lad, isn't he? And remember I talked about that area where I was having myself, weren't I? So I was 18.
What role did Lampard play in Chelsea's dominant era?
You're not having yourself anymore then? No, no. I'm a humble mix now. All right. Yeah. So I got into England and I was having myself. That's what the kids say. They're having himself. He's having himself, isn't he? And like I said, I was...
How did Frank Lampard's relationships with teammates influence his career?
Champagne, Aston Martins. So then we play the England game and he treats me like we're best mates. Oh, I love the way you play. Well, that's because you gave him an assist. Exactly. I love the, you know, dynamic and all this and teach me certain aspects of the game, what I can improve on. Loved it. We're like best mates. So then we go away to Stamford Bridge and play for Man City. We're not the Man City of today.
What are some unforgettable moments from Lampard's career?
We were struggling. So we're in the tunnel and we're like, stand up, stand up, stand up. So, you know, that's the Chelsea side. And this is the Man City side. So I've come down, I saw Joe Cole, shook his hand. All right, mate, how you doing? Everything all right? No problem, geezer. Geezer. I've gone to him and he's just looked the other way.
What impact did Lampard have on the England national team?
He's blanked me. He's left you hanging. He's left me hanging. So I'm thinking, just the other week we were best mates and now you're blanking me. So I go into the game. Super blankie Lampard. I'm raging. I'm raging. I'm thinking, who does he think he is? He's not even that good.
How did Lampard's management career begin after playing?
Gerrard's better than him anyway. That's what I'm thinking in my head. No, you didn't say that. No, I didn't say that. Of course I didn't say that. So we go into the pitch and I'm looking at him. I'm not even concentrating on the game. I'm just thinking, when he comes around me, I'm going to absolutely smash him. Couldn't get anywhere near him. That game is the worst game I've ever played for Man City. Four goals.
So you think he did a job on you in the tunnel? Four goals are your fault.
Four goals. We're going to get him, mate.
Chase is going to get him from me.
Look back at those goals. Oh my, how atrocious I was. He did a job on you in the tunnel. Well, he... Psychologically, he destroyed you. He could say that. Yeah. But then after... I saw him at England camp again. And before I could say anything to him, he goes, oh, I'm one of the good guys, mate. I'm one of the good guys. Why have you got the up with me? And I said, fuck off, fucking prick. No, I didn't. And then after that, I realised he was just shy. He was, you know, quite reserved and all that sort of stuff. But I just thought he was blanking me because he didn't rate me or I don't know, maybe he was just focusing on the game. But I took it as a bit of a diss and I didn't like it, you know? Are you over it?
No. Can you tell? No, no, no. However, we did work with him, didn't we? Yeah. In the Euros. And I have to say, he's one of the most impressive pundits I've ever worked with. It's crazy.
