Frank Lampard, born on 20 June 1978, began at West Ham United in 1995, the club where his father had played, and moved to Chelsea in 2001 for 11 million pounds. He stayed 13 years and became Chelsea’s all-time leading scorer with 211 goals in all competitions, including 177 in the Premier League, a record for a midfielder. The listing follows that career: of about 174 items, 87 are Chelsea and 15 more are Chelsea centenary shirts, 59 are England, nine are West Ham and three are from New York City FC. His single season at Manchester City is not represented at all.
Some 109 items fall in the 2000s and 56 in the 2010s, with only nine from the 1990s. The number on the back is the quickest guide: Lampard wore 8 at Chelsea, and England shirts carry 8 as well. He won 106 caps and scored 29 goals after his debut in 1999, played at the World Cups of 2006, 2010 and 2014 and at Euro 2004, where he made the team of the tournament, and was runner-up for both the Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year in 2005.
Away shirts number 85 against 76 home shirts, with four third shirts and eight player-issue items cut to squad rather than retail specification. Most listings carry a wear grade out of ten and only 22 are new with tags. Prices run from 30 pounds to 480, with the middle near 120, and the top of the range is taken by early Chelsea home shirts in mint condition.
