UEFA Club Midfielder of the Year: 2008

• The son of former West Ham left-back Frank Lampard Sr, he started his career with the Hammers as an apprentice and had a short spell on loan at Swansea before making his debut for the east London outfit.

• Helped West Ham to a fifth-place finish in the 1998/99 Premier League season, starting all 38 matches, but moved across London to join Chelsea in 2001.

• First capped by England in 1999, his first international goal did not arrive until four years later, but he scored three times at his first major tournament – UEFA EURO 2004; drew blanks, however, at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, where he missed a penalty in the quarter-final shoot-out against Portugal, and at the 2010 tournament in South Africa.

• A key figure in Chelsea's back-to-back title wins in 2004/05 and 2005/06, he equalised in the 2008 UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United FC and scored the winner in the 2009 FA Cup decider versus Everton FC.

• Struck a career-best 22 league goals in 2009/10, a feat which lifted him into third place on the Blues' all-time top scorers' list, as Chelsea completed the double for the first time.

• Made his 500th appearance for Chelsea in their 1-0 home defeat by Manchester United in the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg, and played a key role in the Blues winning the competition the following season by scoring penalties in successive rounds against SSC Napoli and SL Benfica.

• Became the first midfielder to score 150 Premier League goals when he converted a spot kick in a 1-1 draw with Fulham FC on 9 April 2012.
