‘Write Frank Lampard off at your peril. I have known him for an awfully long time and he was obviously disappointed about not starting but he trained incredibly hard the day after and certainly will continue to do that. I have trained with him for a long time now and he is one of the best players I have played with and one of the best professionals I have ever played with as well. Because of his age people are tending to write him off but he’s still in excellent form at Chelsea, [during] last season and he’s had a good start this season as well. His record for England as well has been incredible, the same as his goal ratio.’ - John Terry
