Read our privacy policy Former England and Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard retired as a player on this day in 2017 after a stellar 21-year career. Lampard, then 38, widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s all-time greats, announced his decision on social media after spending the previous year at Major League Soccer side New York City. “I’m immensely proud of the trophies I’ve won, of representing my country over 100 times and of scoring more than 300 career goals.” Lampard is the Premier League’s fourth-highest appearance maker and sixth-highest goalscorer. After starting his career at West Ham, Lampard spent 13 years at Chelsea and became part of his country’s ‘golden generation’ despite failing to win major honours with England.
