If you were to tell me back in May that Frank Lampard was going to make an impact, then I would’ve laughed. Everyone laughed and had labeled the legendary midfielder “MLS’ Worst Designated Player Ever”.
Missing out of action in the first two months, Lampard had lost the trust of the NYCFC faithful and when he did step on the pitch, he heard the boos. Lampard was battling an unknown injury and agreed to work with BBC during NYCFC’s season. We all had this idea of him and chalked it up that Lampard’s time in the Big Apple was over.
