Frank Lampard biography And Picture

England and Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard was born on June 20, 1978 in Romford, England. He was brought up in a very footballing family, with his father Frank Lampard senior, nephew Jamie Redknapp and uncle Harry Redknapp it was very hard for Frank to go in any other line than being a football player. Throughout his career, Frank has always had ample support from his family which has helped him develop as a player. He started off playing football in his back garden, with his father always ever present to encourage him. One of his first football clubs was that of Heath Park, a local side to Frank, located in Essex.

He then went for trials at Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham youth academies. Although he thought Tottenham's was the best, he decided to join West Ham's in 1994 because of family connections, with his father being an assistant coach. In the following season, after signing his professional forms, he joined Swansea on loan. Although the training facilities weren't as good as West Ham's, it certainly helped his strength and physical side of the game. He had to wait until the 1998-99 season to become a regular in the West Ham starting line up, and scored six goals as West Ham finished fifth that season. Lampard was becoming more and more renown for his goal-scoring abilities, especially from long range. His 1999-00 season was the best he had for West Ham, scoring 14 goals and the next term he finished with 9 goals to his name, that, along with covering his defensive duties in the midfield.
