Jimboola69 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 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.

Jimboola69 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUENUT Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Should become a Chelsea trademark celebration for any Chelsea penalty scored at that end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Can I remind everyone, though his celebration was fantastic, he is only going through the motions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerie Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Such cynicism in a young person. Elen must have given her some bad news today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 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.

Valerie Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Excellent, I'm glad. When you see Elen, do you think 'there's Gem's best friend?' That would be appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
