Fully deserved it. A true legend and loyal servant to the club.

 

Brilliant, legend!

Excellent!

HRH Sir Super Frank Lampard CBE, OBE, MBE.

Hang on, an OBE isn't a knighthood, is it?  Am I getting confused in my old age?

No not a knighthood - I think Gem is just commenting on what he should have!

OK, so is that what CarshaltonBlue is doing too?  I got so excited at the thought of Frank being a Sir - and then somewhat deflated when I realised it wasn't true.  

Sorry didn't notice the thread title!

Amazing!

 

What a legend!

Well done Frank. 

 

YAY FRANK!

Well deserved, not only a Chelsea legend but a sporting icon too.

I'm opposed to gongs, but as long as they exist, Lampard might as well get one.

Legend! Super Frank!

We should get him back as a coach was like Drogba was last season.

I c & p the story & must admit in my excitement i also first thought he would now be Sir Frank Lampard.

 

Still i'm pleased for him & its nice for Chelsea to be associated with such an accolade.

I doubt City would let him come back to Chelsea while he's under their contract. But we definetely need him especially in time like this.

I have never heard of this, care to explain it to me anyone?

In Dutch it's a "lintje", koninklijke onderscheiding.

Been devalued recently with the way they are giving them away but congrats nonetheless for Lampard, he deserves it. 

top man, and well deserved.  Just hope rumours of him getting into Tory politics are false.

Lampard next James Bond anyone?

 

 

Our Frank has got a much better head of hair on him than ol' Willy despite being older than him. 

 

Seriously look at the state of that barnet. He's only 33 and looks like he's going on 50. 

 

Shave it off lad. 

We live in an increasingly bald-ist society so the lack of any attempt to hide his advancing baldness is one thing that I respect him for.

 

Modern humans have no real need for hair so it stands to reason that bald(ing) people are simply at a more advanced stage in the evolutionary process.
