Just in case you were in any doubt about the greed of some players - fat lampard!

[METALMICKY]

A bit old news but i only just heard it from the wife. Eastbourne United veterans played a charity match against a bunch of Chelsea Old boys back in 2010. The Chelsea boys included people like Bumpstead, Stanley, Cannoville, and also our old boys Chivers and Walker.

It transpired that an Eastbourne female fan who is quite a good artist had done a picture of Fat Lampard. On chatting to one of the Chelsea Old boys (not sure which one!), he very helpfully suggested that he would use his Chelsea connections to get the picture actually signed by Lampard on the sensible basis that its charity worth would be obviously enhanced.

Lo and behold after some delay the picture was returned by the Chelsea vet with an apology but Lampard had refused to sign unless he received a fee!

I really don't believe that is true.

 

[Mr Smggles]

I really don't believe that is true.

Lampard doesn't seem like a **** to me.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Got a sauce? Or just making up yet another NSC fairy tale?

 

[Mellotron]

Not convinced. Lampard has always seemed like a genuinely fairly nice bloke.

The trouble is, often people just want to make money out of you signing your name.
I know it's only a pen stroke. But think of how many people get him to sign a cheap photo, then sell it in their shop for 10 times the price.

He is a knobber though..

 

[Mellotron]

He is a knobber

Based on?

I disagree, he always seems like one of the nicer guys in football.

Always come across as a decent bloke, just keeps himself to himself (whenever possible). I'm sure that story is not true at all......

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Top marks for the story.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I really don't believe that is true.

I agree - unless there's some sort of weird image rights thingybob that he has no choice - or maybe the money was for charity, I can't believe he would do that.

Has Lampard moved to his new house in boring Ferring yet ?

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Sorry I should have added the following...
If it's true, he's a knobber because he's got so much money he can afford not to care how much money other people can make out of him.

 

[perth seagull]

If this was about Ashley Cole I might have believed you.

 

[Del Boy]

Great.... Another my wifes friends daughters hairdressers story from years ago!

[fire&skill]

Is this the portrait? No wonder he wouldn't put his name to it!

 

[stroller]

Maybe the guy overstated his "connections" and in actual fact didnt know Frank Lampard from adam and so blamed him to saved face.

Its not in Ferring its in Kingston Gorse so I am told by the estate agent but he wouldnt give the exact location.
