Chelsea and England footballer Frank Lampard shares his journey from a young West Ham apprentice to a multi-millionaire footballing icon and key member of the national team. He recounts his experiences during the 2005/06 season and the 2006 World Cup Finals in Germany. Celebrated as one of Britain’s finest footballers and the 2005 Footballer of the Year, Lampard has earned admiration from fans, managers, and peers. Born into a football family, his father, a former West Ham star, recognized his talent early on and was dedicated to his success. Frank signed with West Ham in 1995, managed by his uncle Harry Redknapp. After a controversial transfer to Chelsea, he silenced critics and became vital to the club. Lampard holds records for the most Premiership appearances at his age and for consecutive appearances at Chelsea, as well as for the most goals scored in a season by a Premiership midfielder. He candidly discusses his early years, the challenges of fame, his views on former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson and Chelsea’s Jose Mourinho, insights into Roman Abramovich, and stories about current teammates. He reflects on the privileges and pressures of being part of England's golden generation and shares his disappointment at not winning the World Cup in 2006.
