http://www.chelseafc.com/article.asp?hlid=420818 Look at it this way - time to celebrate Frank Monday, Oct 09, 2006 Neil Barnett has been writing, editing and broadcasting for Chelsea for over 20 years. This week he puts Frank Lampard's latest milestone into perspective. On Wednesday in Croatia, Frank Lampard is set to win his 50th England cap. Forty-eight of them will have been won since joining Chelsea. Only Marcel Desailly has gained more while sporting his club colours in Chelsea blue. William Gallas also won 48 French caps before leaving in August. On his way to this proud milestone, Lampard has been described as fat, only in the side because of his uncle and father, a waste of money, and numerous less complimentary things. Meanwhile, he has managed the following: FA Premiership winners' medals 2005 and 2006; League Cup and FA Community Shield winners' medals, FIFA World Player of the Year runner-up and Ballon D'Or European Player of the Year runner-up, FWA Footballer of the Year, Barclay's Premiership Player of the Year, named in the FIFPro World Team of the Year 2005; PFA Player of the Year runner-up 2004, 2005 and 2006; Chelsea Golden Boot winner 2005 (19 goals) and 2006 (20 goals), Chelsea Player of the Year 2004 and 2005, FWA Footballer of the Year runner-up 2004, and FA Cup runner-up medal 2002. He has also set a new record for consecutive Premiership games by any player, 164, beating the record of goalkeeper David James, and at the same time broke John Hollins' Chelsea League record of 135. He has won the Intertoto Cup with West Ham, been voted the England team's Player of the Year by the fans, and he has top scored for England at the European Championships in 2004. But then he blanked in the 2006 World Cup, and the media world has been on his back ever since. It is ironic that because of his extraordinary goalscoring feats as a midfielder, he has become judged as a goalscorer. When Chelsea bought him, pre-Roman Abramovich, for ￡11m, it seemed a lot of money. It's worth remembering, however, that the day before Arsenal spent ￡10m on Francis Jeffers. Frank was bought to replace two people really — and not just any two people. He was bought as a goalscoring midfielder to replace Gustavo Poyet, and as a central midfielder to replace Dennis Wise. In his first season, 2001/02, he was okay. He ended it well, particularly with his FA Cup Final performance. But he didn't rip up any carpets in his opening 12 months. He was solid. He was John Bumstead, which is a big compliment. But you wouldn't pay the equivalent of ￡11m for John Bumstead — you'd have paid that for Kerry Dixon, David Speedie or Pat Nevin. Match winners! In his second season, 2002/03, he added crucial goals to his game, like the winner in the opening match at Charlton. He became a match winner. And he added surging runs and long range passing. He started influencing games throughout. He became a player of international quality. In his third season, 2003/04, he added defence-splitting passes, assists of the highest quality, deadly free-kicks, and his goalscoring took off. He got 15 for Chelsea and five for England. He became world class. For older supporters he actually looked like Alan Hudson with goals. In his fourth season, 2004/05, his first touch and mobility on the ball improved remarkably. He scored 19 goals. We won the League. He was voted the second best player in the world. In his fifth season, 2005/06, he scored 20 goals and won the League again. He scored 16 League goals, the most by a midfielder since the Premiership had started. He was ripping up the record books. And yet, perhaps, there was a feeling that his all-round game was not quite as good. Meanwhile, check his assists. In 2004/05 he got 31. In second equal place were Damien Duff and Eidur Gudjohnsen with 13. In 2005/06 he got 21. In second place was Didier Drogba with 12. True, there was a drop of ten, but that was still a figure higher than even the unique Gianfranco Zola ever accomplished. He was in a different planet in creating goals for others. This season he has scored four goals, four behind Drogba but still our second top scorer. He has four assists, one more than each of Wayne Bridge, Michael Essien and Arjen Robben. He is top of our assists. He has set a standard that is at the very top of his profession. Chelsea have had some great creative and attacking central midfielders down the years: Terry Venables, John Hollins, Hudson, Ray Wilkins, Wise, Andy Townsend, Gavin Peacock and Roberto Di Matteo. None of them have done better than Frank. And, with one exception, you can go back to Bobby Charlton for an England attacking midfielder who achieved more than Frank in all aspects of his career. Since then, Colin Bell, Trevor Brooking, Bryan Robson, Paul Gascoigne, and David Platt would all look at his list of achievements above and not be able to better them. Ironically, only his predecessor, Paul Scholes, can match them. Frank was 25 before he became an England regular. Now he is 28 and winning his 50th cap. Since the end of his first season he has been a great buy for Chelsea, and since the beginning of his second season he has been a great servant to England. May that long continue.
