Frank Lampard has been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame
Chelsea’s all-time leading goalscorer Frank Lampard has become the
latest player to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
Lampard scored 177 goals in 609 Premier League appearances
for West Ham, Chelsea and Manchester City.
He won the Premier League three times
during a storied 13-year career at Stamford Bridge, during which he scored 211
goals in all competitions.
We take a look back at Frank Lampard’s greatest ever Premier
League goals.
The England international was named the Premier League’s
Player of the Season following Chelsea’s 2004/05 title-winning campaign.
Lampard began his Premier League career as a West Ham
academy graduate and also had a short spell at Man City before his retirement.
He is the third of six players to be announced
into the Premier League Hall of Fame alongside inaugural inductees Alan Shearer
and Thierry Henry after a fans’ vote from a 23-man shortlist.
Former Manchester United captains Eric
Cantona and Roy Keane were inducted via the fans’ vote on Tuesday.
The honour recognises players who have demonstrated an
exceptional record of on-pitch success and have made important contributions in
the division since its creation in 1992.
In order to be eligible for induction, players must have been
retired by August 1, 2020
