Stats – Frank Lampard vs The Premier League

“I’m telling you now, he will go right to the very top. Right to the very top. ‘Cos he’s got everything that is needed to be a top midfield player. His attitude is first-class. He’s got strength, he can play, he can pass and he can score goals.” – Harry Redknapp, 1996
Harry nailed it. Frank Lampard has gone on to win everything in club football and become one of the Premier League’s all-time greats.
