Frank Lampard showed his class by sending Boreham Wood manager Luke Garrard a text message congratulating the non-league club on their FA Cup exploits.
The message dropped the day after Boreham Wood dumped Championship club Bournemouth out at the fourth round stage to set up a trip to Everton.
The Hertfordshire club's run came to an end in a 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park on Thursday night, with Salomon Rondon's two goals finally breaking down Wood's resistance in the second-half.
Garrard has revealed Lampard's warm wishes to him with the screenshot going viral on social media as an example of Lampard's fine character.
