Frank Richard George Lampard (born 20 September 1948) is an English retired professional footballer who played as a left-back. He played most of his career for West Ham United with a brief spell with Southend United. He was capped twice for England and is the father of long-time Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard.
Lampard was born in East Ham, Essex to Frank Richard Lampard (1920–1953) and Hilda D. Stiles (born 1928). He has a sister Gwendoline, who is a year younger than him. He was only five years old when his father died in 1953, aged 33.
Lampard started for the youth team of West Ham United in 1964. He debuted for West Ham United in November 1967 in a 3-2 home defeat by Manchester City, and quickly established himself in his preferred left-back position. At club level, he won two FA Cups with West Ham, in 1975 and 1980, and the old second division title in 1981. By the time he left the club on a free transfer at the end of the 1984–85 season, Lampard had played 660 games, scored 22 goals and become one of the most celebrated players ever to pull on the claret and blue jersey. He wore the number 3 on his jersey.
He moved to Southend United for the 1985–1986 season, then managed by another ex-West Ham star Bobby Moore, and made 38 appearances for the Essex club before deciding to retire.
At international level, Lampard won four England Under-23 caps, and debuted for the England senior national team against Yugoslavia in October 1972, the first of two full caps he gained.
