New York Red Bulls' cheeky farewell message to retiring Frank Lampard

As you're no doubt aware, Frank Lampard made the big call to retire from professional football earlier on Thursday, bringing an end to a glittering career.

Having spent two seasons at New York City at the end of his 21-year run, it was only fitting that their cross-city rivals, the NY Red Bulls, give the departing veteran a fitting send off.

However, they could only manage a pithy GIF of Lampard being nutmegged by Mike Grella and the word "bye".
