The Frank Lampard Thread

This Brought a Lump to my throat - Iain Macintosh
Being caught crying in front of the television by your girlfriend is one of the most humiliating moments in any man's life.
The actual most humiliating moment, I can now confirm to you, is explaining to her that you were crying because a man you don't know has scored a goal for a club you don't support.
That took some doing, I tell you. I don't cry very often.
Not saying goodbye, not at weddings and only occasionally when choppping onions, but the lump that appeared un my throat when Frank Lampard stepped up to take that penalty ..
My Achilles heel has always been moments of great sporting bravery, they do for me every time.
I found myself welling up when West Bromwish Albion pulled off a remarkable last day escape in 2005 and the last time I actually, properly cried was watching the DVD of "Cool Runnings" when the rich kid's father undoes his jacket to reveal a "Go Jamaica" t-shirt.
Oh Lordy, just the act of typing that line has made my lower lip wobble again.
I always thought that Liverpool had a monopoly on sentimentality, but with Lampard's composure and Avram Grant's version of Michael Jackson's "Earth Song" on the touchline, there couldn't have been a dry eye in the house.
