With three league titles, 609 top-flight appearances and 177 goals, Frank Lampard is one of the all-time great Premier League players.
And in recognition of a glittering career, the former West Ham United, Chelsea and Manchester City midfielder will be the latest player to receive the Legend of Football Award in London later this year.
He will join Sir Stanley Matthews, Sir Bobby Robson, Kenny Dalglish and last year's recipient Steven Gerrard to be honoured.
"It's a real honour for me to receive the Legends Of Football award this year," Lampard said. "Just seeing my name mentioned among those past winners is something to cherish."
The Legends of Football evening, held in partnership with the Premier League, will not just mark Lampard's achievements but will also raise funds for Nordoff Robbins, which makes specialist use of music to help thousands of vulnerable and isolated people across the United Kingdom, supporting individuals with a range of needs.
