Frank Lampard
Lampard has been one of the competition’s most complete midfielders.
A champion on three occasions with Chelsea, no midfielder has got near his total of 177 Premier League goals for the Blues, West Ham United and Manchester City.
Lampard reached double-figures for goals in 10 consecutive seasons - another unique feat among midfielders - as he became Chelsea’s all-time leading scorer.
Named Player of the Season for 2004/05, he also surpassed a century of assists in the Premier League.

What they said
"At Chelsea, in my first period, I had Frank Lampard, probably the best player in the Premier League for one decade." – Jose Mourinho
"Aged 28, 29 he had everything, but he wasn’t happy with scoring 20 goals a season. As if that's not enough, he wanted to score 30. He wanted to break records and set records for the next generation to try and beat." – John Terry
"Lampard was incredibly reliable and consistent from box to box. He was end-to-end and hardly missed a game." – Sir Alex Ferguson
