Frank James Lampard, Jr.
Date of birth: 20 June 1978
Place of birth: Romford, England
Height and weight: 6 ft (1.83 m)

Position: Midfielder
Nickname: Lampie
Lampard is the son of Frank Lampard Sr., former England fullback and two-time FA Cup winner with West Ham United. He is also related to Harry Redknapps, Portmouth's coach.
Lamps is a regular at Chelsea although Chelsea boasts a wealth of central midfielder like Ballack, Essien, Makelele and John Obi. He ended the 2005/2006 season with 16 goals for Chelsea.
Unfortunately he played below his potential during World Cup 2006. In the first game under the new England coach, Gerrard played on the right side, Owen Hargraves was the defensive midfielder and Lampard was allowed to roam freely as an attacking midfielder. The tactic paid off with him scoring a goal against Greece.
Latest:
Lampard scored one of Chelsea's 3 goals against Blackburn on January 31st. Lampard's 25-yard drive in the 67th minute flew into the roof of the net for his 16th goal of the season.
