Frank James Lampard fought the weight of expectation before he'd even played a game of football, due to his father Frank Sr., a talented footballer and coach. Frank Junior transferred to Chelsea and in 2004, his talent really began to blossom, helping his team to its first win of the league cup in fifty years. Lampard was the clubs highest goal scorer with 13 goals for the season. His international career began in 1997 when he made his debut against Greece with the Under 21s squad. Since then, despite being overlooked for the World Cup in 2002, he has figured in the 2006 World Cup, but an inability to score in big matches brought him under intense scrutiny from English fans.
