LEGEND TALK! I never even thought about the day I would leave Chelsea, says Frank Lampard. The deep love that Chelsea supporters have for Frank Lampard was encapsulated in the reaction from the editor of the popular fanzine cfcuk. “Broken-hearted,’’ said David Johnstone of news that Lampard was leaving. That summed up the reverence for Lampard, following 13 years’ loyal service, three Premier League titles and one Champions League. Leaving the Chelsea family was hard, Lampard admitted after England training at Sun Life Stadium on Tuesday in advance of his captaining the team against Ecuador on Wednesday. “It has been a huge part of my life so it cannot be anything but a wrench,’’ said Lampard. “I never really thought I’d see the day. I was so entrenched in the life at Chelsea. It overtook my life. As a young West Ham boy moving across town, the club became my home very quickly. I’ve been lucky enough to share it with lots of great people. –“Chelsea have been fantastic with me throughout my career and it was a mutual decision. And that’s the way I wanted to go. I maybe would have gone away last year in a different way, but now I go with a very happy feeling and respect for the club. - [via Telegram] Good Luck Captain!...
