Chelsea’s Frank Lampard has been honoured with the Football Writers’ Association’s Tribute award. He might be, at 31, not quite at the end of his 14 year professional career but clearly, since moving to Chelsea in 2001 and winning 8 trophies, he’s found himself winning an award previously bestowed on the likes of Bobby Moore, Sir Alex Ferguson and Alan Shearer.
Of this honour, Lampard says “It’s unexpected for me, I’m not quite getting towards the end of my career yet but I’m very proud of what I’ve achieved and to get recognition for what I’ve achieved from the FWA is a huge thing. The football writers are so hard to please. They see us every week. They are the critics of football and I’m very proud that they have seen me in this light. I’m really enjoying my football at the moment. You get to 31 and you know you are past the middle part of your career now and I just want to make it last as long as you can.”
Nice work Frank.
