Carshalton Blue Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Finally been awarded an OBE. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3122021/Chelsea-legend-Frank-Lampard-awarded-OBE-following-stellar-Premier-League-career.html
Zinc Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Fully deserved it. A true legend and loyal servant to the club.
Gem Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Excellent! HRH Sir Super Frank Lampard CBE, OBE, MBE.
moi Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Hang on, an OBE isn't a knighthood, is it? Am I getting confused in my old age?
Beerqueen Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 No not a knighthood - I think Gem is just commenting on what he should have!
moi Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 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.
dan_cfc Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Well deserved, not only a Chelsea legend but a sporting icon too.
Valerie Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I'm opposed to gongs, but as long as they exist, Lampard might as well get one.
JM7 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 We should get him back as a coach was like Drogba was last season.
Carshalton Blue Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 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.
Michael440 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 We should get him back as a coach was like Drogba was last season. 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.
CFCholland Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I have never heard of this, care to explain it to me anyone?
Valerie Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 In Dutch it's a "lintje", koninklijke onderscheiding.
Remodez Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Been devalued recently with the way they are giving them away but congrats nonetheless for Lampard, he deserves it.
mad_mac Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 top man, and well deserved. Just hope rumours of him getting into Tory politics are false.
ForeverCarefree Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 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.
bluedave Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 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.
