Frank Lampard Answers the Web's Most Searched Questions About Him | Autocomplete Challenge

Frank, in front of me I have some of the most searched questions about Frank Lampard on the internet and you're going to attempt to answer some of them now. How are you feeling? I'm worried. Who did Frank Lampard support when he was young? West Ham. Dad played for West Ham for 20 years. Lived in the area, pretty local and his family were West Ham. I got an inside track into the training ground in the tunnel. Tony Cotty and Makaveni were my heroes at that point. Has Frank Lampard got an A star in Latin? Yes, I do. I got an A star in Latin. More through application than talent for Latin. I don't know how I did it. I was quite a good boy at school. I wanted to do well. I wanted to play for my teachers and my parents back home. Latin was one. I think I probably just crammed in a lot of revision at the right time. I managed to get an A star which everyone is so surprised about. A lot of people search for that. Yes, I get asked it all the time. I couldn't recite too much Latin to you now. That was my next question. Only amo, amas, amats, amamas, amatis, amant. I love, you love, he loves the verbs. I did a bit of Latin at a very towards GCSE level. Caecilius et in horto. Caecilius and Quintus came up a lot. I'm not quite sure what that means. I'm older than you, I know that. Next up, similar type of question. What is Frank Lampard's IQ? I got measured by Brian English, the doctor here when I was playing. It was actually when John Terry got his head banged in the Arsenal League Cup final at the time. We all went for the IQ test to get some sort of a line for us that they could test us in future to see if we took a head bang. That was the reason for doing the whole team. I casually went and did it. It was a typical IQ test. Felt like a lot of memorised memory stuff and that. Went for it and got come back with 150 something. Wow. So to put that into perspective, 90 to 100 is the average IQ. If you have 120, over 120, you're considered superior. And over 136 is only 1% of the population. So working out my maths, you must be in the top half a percent of the population with your IQ. Yeah. It's pretty good. It is good. It is good. And that's another thing I get asked a lot. And again, people really surprised about it. But no, I don't know. I've officially retired from my IQ test just in case I do another one. And it turns out that that was just a mad number. I mean, that is so high. You've obviously had a very successful career as a player, starting a very successful career as a manager. Once you finish football, do you feel like you have a calling to go into education or somewhere? Or into that knowledge? Scientist? No, no, I don't actually. No, I'm going to rest after that. I'll hopefully focus on my football and then have a good rest. No, I'm pretty proud of it. But I'm sorry, I don't know. Fair play. OK, next one. What did Harry Redknapp say about Frank Lampard? Is this the video? I think that's referring to the famous video. Yeah, he's going right to the top or something like that. But I'm telling you now, and I may be now, I didn't want to say this in front of him, but he will go right to the very top, right to the very top. This popped up again a couple of years ago online, and obviously it happened a long time when I was 17. I took a bit of stick from a West Ham fan, a West Ham fans forum, who was the uncle of one of the other players who was competing with me to try and get into the team. I didn't know that bit. Yeah, so it was related. I didn't know that at the time. And obviously he had his say. And Harry brilliantly defended me from my point of view, because I was gobsmacked. I had 17 chubby-faced curtains sitting there going, get me out of this room. That's what I was going to ask, because it's such an iconic clip that I've seen so many times. But you are just quiet throughout it, quite rightly, because obviously the question is directed to Harry. But what was going through your mind when that is being posed? Yeah, I hated it. Looking back, I felt it was really bullish from someone to do it in front of a room, but then cowardly at the same time. The big thing that comes out of it, I couldn't care about the bloke at all, but Harry to back me to that level at that age. Again, I don't know if Harry actually certainly knew that, because at the time I was so far down in development of what I might have become. But when you listen to your manager say that, and then certainly now when I look back on it, I go, thanks very much, Harry, because that sort of support as a manager is everything you'd want. How much of an impact has Harry Redknapp had on you? Obviously you're related, as we know. How much of an impact has he had now that you've gone into management, because he's had such an amazing career as a manager? Has he really helped you in that journey? Yeah, he has. I saw him last night, actually, and he was huge in me getting a job at Derby, because he's close to Mel Morris, and he basically put me forward. And then I spoke to Mel, and hopefully, well, we came together and the rest obviously happened. But Harry started that process. So without Harry, I wouldn't be sitting here, because I don't think, when I got the Derby job and the year that happened there, he was always in contact with me last year, remains in contact with me now through good or bad results, always a good sounding board. And I'm hugely thankful to what he's done in my managerial career. Brilliant. Top man as well, Harry. Yeah. Right, next one. What is Frank Lampard's favourite film? So you see, we're getting a real mix here. These are what people are searching about you. People want to know what your favourite film is. I haven't watched a film for so many years now. Years? Years, years. I haven't watched a film because the busyness of this job does affect some of that, I suppose. But getting more into series now, don't we? We all watch series. What are you into? What am I into at the minute? I'm watching The Capture on the BBC One. Yeah, The Capture, which is good, like the sixth part. I'm in third or something. But I've been on all the... What was the recent one? I can't think now. Netflix. But again, I haven't watched so much because I'm always watching games and opponents and all that stuff. Film, I'm trying to go back to... I was very much into the gangster mafia ones. I would have been into Godfather and Goodfellas and all that stuff. Classics. I would have watched all that stuff. Yeah, the classics. I'm sorry, that's not a modern answer. They are classics, though, aren't they? They are. A bit of Shawshank, a bit of Thrillers as well. Shawshank. Loved Shawshank. Loved Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. A huge De Niro fan as I grew up. Loved those gritty ones. Deer Hunter. Yeah, I'm showing my age here, but yeah, that's probably the last kind of films I've watched. Can't argue there. What other sports does Frank Lampard like? Cricket. A big cricket fan? Yeah, I do like my cricket. What a year this year has been for cricket. It's been an amazing year. The Ben Stokes innings was just something... I watched it at home. You're talking about the Ashes-Ben Stokes? The Ashes-Ben Stokes ones. Yeah, sorry, I know he's in the World Cup as well, but the Ashes one was some of the most gripping sporting TV I've ever seen. Yeah, I thought that as well, because I'm a massive cricket fan. I thought the World Cup final itself... I struggled to think of a sporting event than the World Cup final, which was so gripping. And then we had the Ashes as well. It was an unbelievable summer for cricket. Yeah, I had a bit of a nightmare with the World Cup final, because I was watching it with my wife in the pub. We were having a couple of drinks, and it got to the end, and I thought that was it. Before the Super Over. So we walked home, and then I got home. Did you? Before the Super Over? Yeah, before the Super Over. So I got home, went out and said that was done. And Christine wasn't really watching it, she's not bothered too much. I was like, oh, they've lost it. And got home, and you're the first person I've told that, because I just wore it. Exclusive, there you go. The next day I just wore it, I was going, yeah, Super Over was amazing. So you missed one of England's greatest sporting moments. Yeah, I watched it back afterwards. It's not the same. Unbelievable. And then the Ashes was unbelievable as well. So cricket, you put there, any other sports you're into? A bit of golf? No, I don't play golf. No, people expect you to play golf. I don't play golf. I'm into a bit of rugby. When the Rugby World Cup's on recently, I'll be all over that. But yeah, cricket will be my main thing. Yeah. Okay, cricket. How is Frank Lampard related to Jamie Redknapp, is another one that came up. We're cousins, so our mums are sisters. So they both married, obviously my dad and Harry, the two young footballers at West Ham at the time. Our mums both worked in hairdressers, so obviously Harry and my dad went and chatted them up in hairdressers or whatever they did, and the rest is history. So we're cousins, yeah, we're close. We've always been close. I always looked up to Jamie as a young player. He was four years or so ahead of me in age. I was breaking through into Liverpool's first team and stuff, and it was always looking up and trying to emulate what he was doing. Yeah, and obviously we've spoken about you had an amazing career for Chelsea, but of course England as well, over 100 caps for England. What was that moment like when you were playing with Jamie Redknapp, your cousin? Because that's so rare, isn't it, two cousins to be playing in a national team. That must have been a very proud moment. It was really proud, and certainly proud for the family. Putting more out on our parents, I certainly felt, because when you're in it sometimes, you're more nervous. It was my debut that I played with Jamie, and I was so nervous. You kind of worry about all the things in the game, you know what I mean, get carried away on yourself. Looking back, hugely proud moment for all the family. Next up, what is Frank Lampard's favourite goal? It's a hard one. Emotionally, the two goals I scored at Bolton when we won the league in 2005 that won us the league. So that's not one, it's obviously two. But emotionally, they are goals I look back on and really do get goosebumps. Technically, probably a goal I scored against Bayern Munich in 2007, I think it was, like a chest and a left foot volley. Probably technically the best, but those two at Bolton were the ones that really get me going. A lot of players say that. The goals they pick are down to what it's meant for them, rather than the actual technique behind the goal. Yeah, and celebratory moments. When I broke the record, I remember at Villa, it was a really simple tap-in. But what it meant to me, and the fact then that the fans went so mad at Villa, on the pitch and that. A few of them got banned, I think they should have done that, but that's another thing. I just appreciate them being so supportive. I get told off for saying that. But the players and the club, everyone, it was an amazing moment. So yeah, there are different feelings. I get that, what you say. They have different feelings for different goals. How hard is it to remember all of them? Because as I alluded to there, Chelsea's record scorer, fourth highest Premier League scorer of all time, the highest scoring midfielder of all time. How many goals can you actually remember, because you scored so many? Yeah, I do occasionally sit back and watch parts of a goal, and sometimes there are ones that I go, oh yeah, I remember that now. Because there's quite a few, some of the goals. But generally, I'm pretty good with that. I was always very driven to score more and more and more. It was sort of that huge part of my game, obviously, from midfield. So I think I logged them all, you know what I mean? Everyone meant a lot to me, so they are still there. You don't keep a scrapbook. I know you said Tony Cotty was one of your idols, Sky Sports as well. He keeps a scrapbook of every goal he's ever scored. His knowledge is amazing. Is that because some of those are not on the TV record? Yes, it is. No, but no, I get that. I think if you are a lover of scoring goals, obviously strikers are supposed to be, and midfield players, you might not think that so much. And I think you do have your little things like that. I don't log them, but I know what he means. What is Frank Lampard's favourite moment as a footballer? Winning the Champions League. I was fortunate enough to be in a great area with great team-mates and we won quite a few trophies. But the Champions League, having tried for nearly 10 years, missed out for different reasons in semis and in the A final. And then to win it, what it meant to this club collectively. All the family and friends were there, the fans in Munich, what it meant to Chelsea fans was huge. And just to be a part of it, we were all mates, we'd been here a long time. We'd probably all, looking back, understood it was probably our last chance to do it. Because I think I was 33, Didier would have been around that, so we're getting towards our 30s and more. And it was a special story. How we got to the final was like fairy-tale stuff, the way it went. And that memory of that night in Munich is so up there, out of this home. Frank, love that. Thanks for your time. I'm going to brush up on my IQ and my Latin now. Yeah, cheers. Top man. All right, thanks.
