Frank Lampard is probably the finest central midfielder currently plying his trade in the Barclays Premier league. His all-round capability that includes attacking, passing and defence have meant that he is almost irreplaceable at Chelsea, where he is currently the vice-captain of the club. Apart from having a number of qualities, Frank Lampard is best known for his goal scoring abilities and his timing of his runs that enable him to score 20 goals a season from midfield.

Also, it is coupled with this ability to remain practically injury free and play almost 60 games a season if needed. Such tremendous work rate and all-round ability has made one of the idols at Chelsea even though he has come from the club’s arch rivals, West Ham United. Such is the quality of Frank Lampard to be able to win the hearts of arch rival fans.
