Thiago Silva is a class act for how he always thanked Frank after he was sacked

[juicepumps]

I could listen to Frank talk for hours. Such an intelligent, humble and likeable guy. As for Gary, he's conducting some of the best interviews I've ever seen. Perfect blend of humour, general chat and hard hitting questions.

Gary Neville conducts these interviews so well. So many poignant moments of success, failure and so many emotions. Wonderful way of handling these interviews with care!

[elcal]

As an Arsenal fan (and hater of Chelsea) I have to honestly say that Frank Lampard is a class act both on and off the pitch. He's a rare breed of player / manager who can talk so eloquently and passionately about his experiences and I could listen to him talk for ages. Frank your mum would be so very proud of you! ♥

[Harryhas]

His first season was one of my favourites following Chelsea. Emotions hit different. Legend.

[JayTheRed]

As a Liverpool fan, I have nothing but admiration for Frank. Scoring 211 goals as a midfielder is absolutely outrageous.

[KeshavChugh]

The overlap is the best thing sky has ever come up with.

[TheBrokenSword]

Who can hate this legend?! Super Franky Lampard! 💙

[pauldoleman]

You do these interviews so well Gary, never talking over your guests and Frank is a legend - what an honest, really open, very likeable guy. I would love Frank back at City, working alongside Pep for the next two seasons and then taking the hot seat when he moves on. Frank was / is a good manager and with time will become a world class manager.

[harolddpvp]

His time as a manager at Chelsea was brilliant as a fan. Full of emotion for every second of the game. What a man

[jesuschristensen]

The champions league was a club effort. Frank being part of the club, he deserves a portion of the credit. Werner stretched the defence, Mount provides the pass and Havertz finishes the goal. All players that probably wouldn't be playing at the club if it wasn't for Frank.

[harrisonjamesheath]

Frank is a legend! One of the all time premier league greats.

[fairbeech]

What an excellent interview. Frank has no sides to him - he is just a genuinely nice guy. In relation to the interview itself, perfectly carried out by GN. Well done!

[connorj]

As a Chelsea fan who idolised Lamps growing up, it is really nice to see him open up about his time at Chelsea. There was such a buzz during his first season managing the club; seeing the likes of Mount, James and Tammy (who’d all been playing championship football the season prior) do so well brought a different excitement to a new signing at the time. Frank deserves some credit for the CL. Haters will say otherwise, but the realists know it’s true. The signings he helped make were absolutely phenomenal, one of the best recruitment periods I’ve seen for a while at Chelsea. This alongside the energy of the chelsea youth really made us look like a force when things clicked. He got top 4 and an FA Cup final with a transfer ban and without Eden hazard who’d carried us for years. (People really seem to downplay the magnitude of losing him just because he’s not done well at Madrid). He was also really unlucky in the super cup final (first game) losing on pens against CL champions Liverpool. He built some strong foundations that will help the club for years to come. It just wasn’t meant to be. Maybe one he’ll come back, who knows. There’s no shame in getting sacked, especially at Chelsea! 😂

Best of luck to him - absolute legend.

When Frank talks about his late mother and his eyes get teary, it breaks your heart. You will never be able to get over the death of your loved ones, even your pets.

[T-ru]

As a Man United fan I have to admit Frank is a Prem icon! Class transcends rivalry

[MrBestofGaming]

Did a great job at Chelsea as manager, with the resources he had, especially bringing through a lot of youngsters!

[samfoot]

What an interview! So satisfying to watch, as a Chelsea supporter. Asks pretty much all of the questions I would have, if I could meet Lamps. Loved all of his answers as well, and looking forward to seeing Super Frank back in the game!

[Me-zunv]

Speaking as a Derby fan, Frank was absolutely immense from day one. Great football, fantastic bloke and built a great relationship with the fans. Devastated with me when he left. I said it may be too early for him and wish he'd stayed for another year or two with us. Wishing him all the best

My brother and I are United fans but have huge respect for Frank. Incidentally, I have a funny story to tell.. My brother used to work at Heathrow Airport and Frank Lampard came through with the Chelsea team and my brother got chatting to Frank, after chatting with Frank for a short while my brother rang me and said "chat to Frank Lampard". All of a sudden there I was chatting to him and the conversation must have lasted only about 15-20 seconds but I'll never forget it. He's such a nice guy with so much humility; he was obviously busy but was still kind enough to have a quick conversation with me. Top man.
