Posted March 13, 200817 yr On Chelsea TV tonight, we saw Frank kiss the penalty spot after scoring the first goal from the pen spot in the 6-1 win over Derby in which Frank was to score four. Frank went on to indicate that he had been keen to get a spot kick there as that is where Ossie's ashes were buried in a ceremony around a year ago, just under the penalty spot. Frank said that he kissed the spot after the goal as a tribute to the great man, "a true Chelsea Legend". Fair play to the man say I. I think this has been missed by the media so I just wanted to point it out to fellow fans as a point of interest and the mark of what Mr Lampard is actually about as a Chelsea player and human being.
March 13, 200817 yr I did'nt see that, Class behaviour from Frankie and I hope ossie was looking down with a smile. hope he was golfing last weekend though
March 13, 200817 yr f**king hell Frank you've gone several notches up in my admiration stakes and my admiration was pretty damned high before. This is top drawer.
March 13, 200817 yr Author Yeah I had not seen it mentioned but did wonder if he stumbled after taking the pen! But hearing him mention it really made me think. Good bloke. Having seen the 'kiss' again, I can what he is doing now!
March 13, 200817 yr Hats off to Frank. Nice touch and thanks for pointing that out to us Jimboola. The King would be looking down with a smile on his face.
March 13, 200817 yr Author Been trying to find a vid clip, but no joy - all cut out to early. Good picture though. ;) *set to background*
March 14, 200817 yr just when you think you cant like someone any more than you already do, he goes and does something like that. my little sis loves frank, and when i told her about this, she started crying.
March 14, 200817 yr Should become a Chelsea trademark celebration for any Chelsea penalty scored at that end!
March 14, 200817 yr Can I remind everyone, though his celebration was fantastic, he is only going through the motions.
March 14, 200817 yr Author Can I remind everyone, though his celebration was fantastic, he is only going through the motions. Where did that come from?
March 14, 200817 yr I can't rememeber who, but someone a while ago stated Frank was 'going through the motions' regarding his current time at Chelsea, and I don't think I've ever read such a laughable comment. My above post was purely sarcastic, I believe he is dedicated to the club and will stay. PS - Valerie, I'm glad you mentioned mine and Elen's friendship, I don't think I've mentioned it enough lately. We are good friends you see.
March 14, 200817 yr It's a well known fact, Gem. When I see your name, I don't think "Oh look, there's Gem", but "Oh look, there's Elen's best friend".
March 14, 200817 yr Excellent, I'm glad. When you see Elen, do you think 'there's Gem's best friend?' That would be appropriate.
