Frank Lampard On Lad Culture, Chelsea Fallout & Nepotism In Football
Our guest today is Chelsea and England legend, Frank Lampard.
As a footballer, his record speaks for itself.
But, his career as player-turned-manager is a knot of competing narratives. A Romford-boy-done-good, a manager dealt a string of poor cards, or a player propelled by Premier League plutocracy.
As always, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
// For many, Frank Lampard's career starts with a now infamous fan forum, where his uncle Harry Redknapp makes a very bold public statement. "He will go right to the very top." It's a moment that symbolises much in Lampard's career. Yes, he reached the heights. Yes, his personal relationships were an integral part of that success. Be it his uncle managing West Ham where he got his big break, or catapulting into one of the biggest jobs in football management at Chelsea off the back of only one previous manager role (at Derby). Frank reveals in this conversation that the fan berating Redknapp was actually the uncle of one of the players let go to make room for him in the squad.
Lampard would go on to dominate as a player, part of England "golden generation" that nonetheless never realised their full potential on the international stage. The squad, and their WAGs, were hounded by the press at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, and are seen as one of the pinnacles of the lad culture that defined the Noughties in Britain. This year England return to Germany for the Euros, their first major tournament in the country since '06. How do the two teams compare, in footballing terms and the culture that surrounds Gareth Southgate's dressing room?
