Lampard started his football career with the West Ham youth team under the guidance of his father – a former player for the same team.
How did Lampard become a millionaire?
By the the 1997-98 season Lampard had secured a place at West Ham. He left in 2001, joining Chelsea for £11 million where his record of 164 consecutive Premier League appearances still stands.
He played a major role in helping the side win Premier League titles in 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2009-10. He was also instrumental in the four FA Cup titles that Chelsea won in 2006-07, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2011-2012, along with the UEFA Champions League in 2011-12 and the Europa League in 2012-13.
In August 2008, Lampard signed a five year contracted with Chelsea, reportedly worth a total of £39.2 million. This positioned Lampard as one of highest-paid Premier League players.
In 2009, Lampard won Chelsea’s Player of the Year title for the third time and for the sixth straight year was nominated for the FIFA World Player of the Year award.
The 2009-10 season, Lampard’s most fruitful at Chelsea, saw him score 22 goals and make 17 assists. The team also won their first League and FA Cup double. Scoring a total of 211 goals for the club, the footballing legend led the team to its first UEFA Champions League title in 2012 and first Europa League title in 2013.
A three-time Chelsea Player of the Year, Lampard is the club’s all-time top goalscorer with 211 goals in all competitions. He also won the FWA (Football Writers’ Association) for Footballer of the Year in 2005 and was selected for the inaugural FIFA FIFPro World XI.
Lampard later joined New York City FC on a two-year deal, in preparation for the club’s Major League Soccer debut in 2015, as a free transfer, but was on loan to Manchester City. On 31 December 2014, however, BBC Sport’s David Ornstein revealed Lampard was under contract to Manchester City and not New York City as previously claimed by both clubs.
