Chelsea captain, John Terry, has hailed Frank Lampard as the club’s greatest player ever, after he retired from professional football on Thursday.
Terry played alongside Lampard throughout his 13 years at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard left as the Blues’ all-time leading scorer with 211 goals in 648 appearances.
“The GREATEST player in the history of our great football club,” Terry wrote on Instagram.
“All the great memories together winning trophy after trophy year after year I will never forget. You have won everything and should be extremely proud.
“It’s been my pleasure and honour to play and experience all those great moments with you.
“A gentleman both on and off the pitch, leader in the dressing room and if I could choose one person next to me in the trenches it would be you.
“A great dad to your two beautiful girls and I’m proud to call you my mate.
“Good luck for the future, whatever you choose to do will be a huge success. Love ya Lampsy.
“LEGEND HERO INSPIRATION + THE BEST EVER.”
