Soccer: Lampard the key to Chelsea success, says Redknapp

IT WAS hardly surprising that Claudio Ranieri and Harry Redknapp were in total agreement over the “fantastic” contribution of Frank Lampard to Chelsea’s Premiership title challenge.

Ranieri has hung his hat on the England midfielder providing the enterprise and style to drive on his foreign legion of big-money stars.

Redknapp has always been a Lampard fan, since he nurtured him as a boy at West Ham where his dad, Frank Snr, was also the coach.
