The West Ham captain thanked the Chelsea legend ahead of his side's clash with the league leaders at the London Stadium
Mark Noble does not expect to see another goalscoring midfielder in the same mould as former Chelsea star Frank Lampard.
Ex-England international Lampard retired from football a month ago after ending his illustrious career in the MLS with New York City FC.
He had previously established himself as a Chelsea legend after becoming their all-time leading scorer with 211 goals following his £11million move from West Ham in 2001.
And, prior to Chelsea's 2-1 victory over West Ham at the London Stadium on Monday night, Hammers captain Noble paid tribute in his club's matchday programme to Lampard, who personally helped him on his journey to becoming a footballer.
