Lampard lands special award

Frank Lampard's glittering career has been rewarded with another award, as he today landed the Football Writers' Association's Tribute award. Lampard's performances helped Chelsea to two Premiership titles.

"It's unexpected for me, I'm not quite getting towards the end of my career yet but I'm very proud of what I've achieved and to get recognition for what I've achieved from the FWA is a huge thing," said Lampard.

"The football writers are so hard to please. They see us every week. They are the critics of football and I'm very proud that they have seen me in this light.

"I'm really enjoying my football at the moment. You get to 31 and you know you are past the middle part of your career now and I just want to make it last as long as you can."
