Frank Lampard, Chelsea’s all time top goal scorer with 211 goals, returns to Stamford Bridge today wearing a lighter shade of blue than he’s used to.
Lampard is rightly adored at Chelsea, but no longer universally it seems.
After his move to Manchester City this fan took it upon himself to write some mean words on cardboard.
One grown man is holding up a rather scrappy placard calling Lampard "a traitor". Absolutely…what did Lampard ever do for Chelsea? Dear me

The reception Lampard received during the warm-up and when his name was read out would suggest that this fan is definitely in the minority, however.
#cfc fans by the tunnel chanting "Super Frank" as Lampard heads back to away dressing-room after warm-up.

Other banners around the ground recognise Lampard for all that he achieved during his 13 years with Chelsea.
And after seeing how well he’s continued to perform after his move to Manchester – he’s definitely loved up there now too.
