Frank still doing it for Blues

-

FRANK LAMPARD’S respect for his former club Chelsea has been highlighte­d again by his attendance at the funeral of the club’s former manager Bobby Campbell. The New York City midfielder is becoming an unofficial — yet credible — ambassador for the game in the autumn of his profession­al playing career. Lampard, who has returned to England for a couple of months following the end of the MLS season in the United States, was among a number of high-profile mourners who attended the service at St Mary’s Church in Chelsea. Campbell, who once told this columnist: ‘I can’t tell you much more about my relationsh­ip with Roman, other than to say that if I did I would have to kill you’, was a popular figure within Chelsea’s inner circle. Although Roman Abramovich was unable to attend the funeral, chairman Bruce Buck and technical director Michael Emenalo were among a number of representa­tives from Chelsea.
