Ex Chelsea player and Head Coach Frank Lampard has become the fifth player to be inducted into the Premier League's Hall of Fame after former Manchester United Legends Eric Cantona and Roy Keane.

Lampard helped Chelsea win their first-ever Premier League title under Jose Mourinho back in 2005 and would go on to lift that same title two more times at Stamford Bridge. 

A prolific goal scorer from midfield, Lampard is Chelsea's all-time leading scorer and is fifth in the Premier League's all-time chart. He scored 177 goals in 609 Premier League appearances for West Ham, Chelsea and Man City. 

Lampard also made 102 assists in that same time, picking up four Premier League Player of the Month awards and the 2004-05 Premier League Player of the Season. 

The former England midfielder is widely said to be one of Chelsea's greatest ever players and has now been recognised for his contributions in the top flight of English football. 

Lampard, Cantona and Keane are among the six inductees to the Hall of Fame being announced this week. They have been selected from a 23-man shortlist based on the most combined votes from the public and a Premier League panel. 

The Blues legend claims he looked up to those already enshrined into the Hall of Fame and is 'honoured' to be mentioned in the same space as them.
