There are times when old enmities go out the window, and this morning is one of them. Nothing matters more in life than the health of your family, so Frank Lampard’s race to be at his mother’s hospital bedside last night – thereby missing the Wigan game for Chelsea – was not only totally understandable, but laudable. The Lampards are a very close knit family and if you’ve read his autobiography, you will know how close to his mother Frank is . Mrs Lampard, according to the papers this morning, has conracted pneumonia and is in a very serious condition.
I hope all readers of this blog will join me in wishing her well and sending the whole Lampard family our best wishes.
All the best to the Lampard family from I would hope all true Irons
Completely agree Frank snr is an old sparing partner who i respect a lot. I hope very much Mrs Lampard gets better very soon.
Of course, totally agree with your sentiments Iain, get well soon Mrs Lampard.
Very much agreed, and i hope this give alot of West ham fans (Me being one) a sense of perspective.
Good for you mate. Nice to see that you boys can bury the hatchet every now and then.
Best wishes to all the family. Puts it all into perspective doesn’t it?
Totally agree.
Get well soon Mrs Lampard!
Best Wishes.
All true West Ham fans should put their negative thoughts about Frank Lampard to one side and wish his mother a successful recovery. Our thoughts are with Frank and Family.
We all hope Mrs Lampard makes a speedy recovery
get well soon mrs lamps!
nice touch,all the best to the lampards.
I had not read the papers so thank you Iain. A loving family is the most important thing in life. Best wishes to the whole Lampard family and I really hope that Mrs Lampard gets well soon.
All the best Frank, your actions and words towards us since you left the club have been nothing short of disgraceful, and have never been properly highlighted by the media in an attempt to show people why we ‘HATE’ you like we do, but as Dale says, these times put things into perspective.
Your dad was a great servant to this club, the club which gave you your big break in football, and you too were a good player for us, hope everything turns out ok, be nice for you to come out and apologise for your actions towards us at some point too.
Went to school with Frank, Mrs Lampard was always lovely, get well soon.
Fully agree with all these comments. All genuine West Ham fans must appreciate all that the Lampards have done for our club. Get well soon Mrs L
Sincerely hope she pulls through ok.
get well soon mrs lampard…our best wishes to you and frank snr(true hammer)
no comment on frank lampard jnr as i think of him as i always have done since he brought shame on his west ham supporting family with his disgraceful actions and words to west ham fans.never forgive or forget.this different matter altogether.
Best wishes from Austria for a speedy recovery, Mrs Lampard!
All the best to the Lampard family and I hope that Mrs Lampard fully recovers!!
Also hope also that one day that Frank Junior aplogises to the West Ham faithful, And stops kissing that badge!!
From a West Ham fan I wish her a speedy recovery and good wishes to the worried family.
Really hope she pulls through.
Lampard was always a favourite of mine while he was at West Ham – one of my favourite kits (the 99-00 Fila home shirt) was graced by his name…
ANYWAY – as well as hoping she gets better I also hope he at least sees and respects that us West Ham fans have this sentiment. Like someone said it puts things into perspective – it’s a shame he didn’t have the class of people like Joey Cole and get a similar welcome on his returns to Upton Park.. a big shame! BUT… c’est la vie I guess.
Hope she has a speedy recovery!
Agreed. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Mrs L.
I realise that WHUFC were less than fair with their treatment of Harry & Frank Sr, but what did WE ever do to Junior? It’s not our fault he’s a Junior, or that he had a little puppy fat when he first played, nor that he can’t displace Steve G in the national team. So, why exactly does he hate us so much?
It’s funny that a player who was brought up a true hammer should end up so twisted. I, like many other fans I’m sure, do not hate him in return. I feel sorry for him – yes, he’s won a few medals with Chelski (the gravy boat continues, for now!), but when he eventually leaves them I doubt he will ever get the same reception at the Bridge that almost all ex-hammers get at Upton Park. Let alone one of our own. The Pompey game, for example – with both Glen and David getting a very friendly cheer.
I would say one thing though – would all hammers stop booing him at Upton Park – it only makes him raise his game! There’s a thought – get Capello to pick Frank and then fill the stadium with Hammers who boo him & see him score a hat-trick for England – any chance ?!?!?!?!?
Best wishes to to Mrs L and the whole family including the Redknaps as I believe Harry is married to Mrs L’s sister??
Agree. Best wishes to all the family. Get well soon Mrs Lampard.
I sang and cheered for his dad and for him, now I want to give the best to his mum. Good luck from a five generation WHU family to all the lamps.
Yours are very nice thoughts about the Lampards. Whilst I am sure that you yourself still hasa softspot for Frank, I am not quite sure about the West Ham supporters, because I can still recall the booing that went on whenever Lampard or Joe Cole took possession of the ball the last time Chelsea met West Ham at Upton Park. But anyway, it’s not the time for this. Wish the Lampard family all the best, and I hope that his mother gets well. Moreover, I have to say that I admire the West Ham fans for their noisy (obviously heartfelt) support that they give their team both at home and away games. Great club, wonderful supporters, well done.
Totally Agree,
Lets not foget they have both been great servents for the claret and Blue Army in the past regardless of who or where there loyalties lie now. Its time to forget the local rivalry and consider what really matters.
All the best Mrs L here’s hoping for a speedy recovery.
Frank Jr and Snr all the best.
West Ham Wayno
I’m sure every Football supporter wishes a speedy full recovery to Frank’s mum. Also our thoughts are with all the family at this time.
A West Ham fan.
best wishes from downunder Mrs Lampard.
May God bless the Lamp’s and our realisation that footy is supposed to be ‘sport’ …not a vengeful excuse to vent unhappiness and personal dissatisfactions. Amen.
(Iain, your clock is not yet on BST)
Hope you get well soon mrs Lampard
I wish a speedy recovery to Mrs Lampard.
Get well soon.

there are times in life you have to put certain things to one side..
this is one of them..

i dont wish this kind of thing on anybody…..
so once again i wish Frank Lampard Snr, Frank Lampard Jr and Mrs Lampard
and the rest of the family all my thoughts and prayers…..

I don’t like Frank Lampard much, but can’t agree more that events like this totally put things into perspective. I very much hope Mrs. Lampard has a speedy recovery, and all the best to the whole family. Football dwarfs in comparison to the people’s health.
Best wishes to the Lampards, I am sure everything will be fine.
W.H.U.F.C
I don’t know if any of these comments will reach the Lampard family but in case they do I’d like to say that football’s one thing and giving someone lot’s of stick, feeling a proper rivalry and enmity between us, is part of what football is about.
And let’s face it,
we don’t like Frank
and Frank don’t like us.
All that aside, I hope your mum gets better soon.
