    Hi Stephen. Great interview, a true gent. On a personal note - Frank actually had a massive impact on my life. I was undergoing major surgeries at 27 years old to repair a ruptured achilles which suffered several setbacks and further surgeries. Unbeknownst to me, my dear Mother wrote to Chelsea whilst I was in hospital for my 4th surgery in 5 months. I received a letter in the post that same month, and a signed photograph from Frank himself, wishing me well and telling me to keep strong. It was just before Chelsea faced City in the league, during Frank's first tenure as the manager. I had almost given up on the thought of walking normally ever again, letalone playing football. But that letter really inspired me to try my best and to never give in. Proud to say I am walking (almost) normally and have managed to partake in some 6 a side walking foltball. That letter and photograph I have framed on my wall. Thank you Frank, and all the best in all you choose to do.

    I was touched by Frank's description of the immensity of the loss of his mother. I'm a guy, and I lost my mum when I was 24 (and she also was a hairdresser). There's nothing like a man's loss of his mother, and it's indescribable, really. But Frank conveyed the depth and complexity of it as best as anybody could.

You were only little more than a baby yourself when your mother died. So you are not someone who has been adult when losing their mother. And most individuals don't remember anything when they were 3, anyway.

    What an amazing interview. You have such great skill of humanising legendary beings that have walked amongst us. Frank’s work ethic in English football is unparalleled. He became one of the greatest simple because of his work ethic. Not much talent but relentless work. A true Chelsea Legend. He so described it really well. Losing a mother who is very close to you is such a revealing of emotional nakedness. A feeling that stays with you till your last. Love that you never felt before just cease to exist.

    The raw emotion visible on Franks face when talking about his mother passing away. At last, someone that relates. This episode really hit home, especially this part. I lost my mother suddenly over 1.5 years ago at the age of 31 and can relate to everything frank went through. The auto pilot, the relentlessness afterwards but that aspect of a part of you leaving. Thank you to Frank for speaking so openly about this as only other people that have lost someone so close to them can truly understand how it feels. And it’s true, this grief right here, never leaves you. But you learn to live with it.

      Thank you Steven what you do is really important, I have been watching you since I left working at Lovehoney during lockdown I got run over By a bouncer in a Night club in Bath and then worked at Lovehoney for 3 years. I was Disabled and lost full use of my left arm all because I was dancing with girls and I got picked out of the crowd and ran over behind the club. (I am Dyslexic) I have had major mental health and physical and mental trauma to get over. I'm 30 now and Just finish a year doing Environmental Science in Bristol college to get me to Uni. Higher education course whilst dealing and having to put my dear father through detox, however after 12 years out of education, I have achieved my grades to go to uni. After being an events manager for 5-6 years prior.(Before covid) I have sacrificed myself for everything I have cared about. You may or might not have heard of Roots allotments in Bristol and Bath but during my time working night shifts and day shifts before starting my environmental science qualification I worked and built the 1.0 ground zero site. After applying this work ethic I am now hoping I get my grade that I am sure I will... As I got a distinction in my extended project and my essay on sustainable futures my degree in Bath in Global Development and sustainability may hear more about it. I wish you all the best and thank you to all of us that need that extra push. Gentlemen may not always finish first to start with but may finish when all is done. I am from an Irish and Welsh heritage and your journey is inspiring. I hope to change the world of those that are less off than myself at this stage even and bridge the gap for societies through innovation strategy culture and understanding. One day we will shake hands.

      it's not too late, it can work out, the likes of Moyes didn't start high, most managers don't they earned their spurs through sweat and pain of defeat and some highs. He has been lucky to have had big opportunities that unfortunately didn't work out, he can head to the championship and rebuild from there, League one if need be, build a team in his image, learn to defend like Eddie Howe went to do, and in no time he'll be on the up again. He has contacts with Chelsea and city so he can get players on loan. It'll take some humbling and humility but if he wants to make it he has to restart. Gerrard should've probably done the same instead of going to Saudi but who knows, it may end up working. It'll be good to see the two of them compete as managers in the prem in the future

      ​@@leonleon2276 Well aware he was out of his depth completely. Basically, I loved what he stood for and what he tried to do at the club. I had some of the best times of my life at the end of the 21/22 season - even though we were absolute dirt - because of the connection he forged with the fans. 100% we'd have been down had those scrotes on the board kept him on last season, absolutely, but what I was trying to say was, I never wanted a manager - or anyone, really - to do well for us more than I did Lampard. I know a lot of fans who feel the same way and won't speak ill of him. When Periera was being mooted to replace that Benitez lad, we all kicked off and wanted Lampard.

    Such a humble guy with a legendary football legacy at Chelsea.
    I could relate to the point where Frank said he'd often be struck with grief when people around would often talk about their mothers. I'm no footballer or a genius of any sort but I did lose my mom when I was 14. I'm 29 now and I still grapple with the grief of losing her everyday.
    Thanks for sharing that, Frank. It was quite emotional. Also, I'm a Manchester United fan but massive respect from all the rival fans as well.
    Phenomenal job, Steve. You've just made my day with this interview with Frank! ❤

    One of the best of all time for me, I feel he’s underrated when I see debates on him compared to others, maybe because he doesn’t play for Man Utd or Liverpool. If a midfielder scores 20 goals in 1 season it would grab an incredible amount of attention and praise. I think since Lampard consistently did it for 10 seasons, people were desensitised to it and expected it. A Ronaldinho away from a ballon d'orm for a reason and a class act off the pitch. Highest respect for this legend

    One of the best players of his generation, he was constantly battling it out for domestic and international trophies throughout his career and he deserves a lot of respect. I'm not a Chelsea fan, but I've always liked Frank for his attitude and determination on the field, not to mention his goal scoring ability, which, for a midfield player was second to none.
    To then hear from him about his early years, his struggles, basically what made him into the man he is today was interesting and educating. There's always this unknown about football players, that us football fans don't really get to see, the hidden struggles, that we can't see on a Saturday or Sunday...

    West Ham fan here. Really enjoyed the interview. Frank always comes across as decent honest guy. Never understood some of the nastiness shown towards him whilst he was at West Ham, thought he was a very good player at Upton Park and ended up as a world class one at Chelsea. Would be nice if a few bridges were mended between Frank and Hammers as a lot of us appreciated him both as a person and a player. Feel for him re his mum. Lost my dad to a heart attack when he was 59 and I was 31 and it's a hell of a shock that takes a long time to deal with. Lost my mum three months ago after she suffered with dementia for 5 years and that was in many ways a relief because she was suffering so much, but dad, bang, out of the blue at 59, yes it hits you right in the guts. All the best in your next venture Frank and as I say many of us West Ham fans will always appreciate your performances for the club.

You came back twice when the club wanted you both under very difficult circumstances and it would have been easier to say no especially after tye first season at Derby but you came to our rescue twice. Your the ideal role model for young players good ethics not only on the pitch but off it too. Always be a true blue and I hope you get your chance at a club that will give you the time to prove what we can see is there especially from his first run in the chelsea job but just needs time to prefect it.

    My all time fav player and I believe one of the most under-appreciated and underrated players ever. He wasn’t just a goal scorer he could play-make with the best of them and was tactically amazing always in the right position offensively and defensively.

    Great watch, really insightful, provided a different view of Frank that isn't just about football. This was interesting to learn more about Frank, the human. As always, well done Steven!

    this is bound to be one of my all time favorite episodes - I remember being such a fan of his in my team following his playing career, and everything else sadly - it was a golden era but also a sad era at that time
    Frank is a legend no matter what - to me anyway

    I am an Arsenal fan but I always felt Frank Lampard was a great guy.
    His goal scoring record for a midfielder is unbelievable.
    We do share something in common with regard to overthinking, but I wish I shared his football ability😐

    This man is the reason why i love football, why i support Chelsea , why 8 is my favourite number, why i only wore Adidas boots growing up , why i played the same position. He defines what a gentleman is and sets an amazing example on how to push through life. His playing Career was second to none, he will be one of the best midfielders the world has seen and noone can take that away from him. Yeah , the last stint at Chelsea wasnt great but there was more going on then just the manager being the issue. Frank , we love you and we are glad you are well. I will never forget that pen you scored for your mom. She would be so proud of the man you, shows how amazing of a mother she was. What ever you do next Frank , i wish you nothing but the best. Thank you for everything Super Franky Lampard 💙

    Hearing frank talk about his mum is so raw similar feelings to how im about my mum who i lost when i was young especially the bit he says it makes u in a strange way happy that you’ve been through that and it can’t happen again

    I am eternally grateful to Steven for brining us authentic insight into the thinking and journey of such amazing people. The outward reflects the inward. Greatness is in the journey not just the outcomes.
