Biography:
Frank Lampard was born into a footballing family. He is the son of Frank Lampard, Sr., a former England fullback and two-time FA Cup winner with West Ham United. His mother, Pat, died of pneumonia on 24 April 2008, and since her death his goal celebration has consisted of pointing to the sky and looking upwards as a tribute. His uncle is Tottenham Hotspur coach Harry Redknapp, and his cousin, Jamie Redknapp, spent 12 seasons with Liverpool and earned 17 caps for England before retiring in 2005.
