Good Guy Frank

[hughy]

Stoke boss Mark Hughes hails the "class" of Frank Lampard after the Manchester City midfielder swapped shirts with Potters teenager Oliver Shenton this week.

Shenton, 17, made his Premier League debut as a late substitute in Wednesday night's 4-1 loss to Manchester City at the Britannia Stadium only two days after his mother's funeral. City midfielder Lampard, who lost his own mother in 2008, sought out fellow midfielder Shenton after the game to have a chat and trade shirts.

"That is a great touch," says Hughes. "Obviously Frank has lost close family members as well and maybe that resonated with Frank. I think that shows his class."

Touch of class from the fat one.

I've never been adverse to Frank although he played too long for the wrong club. His father was also an honest, hard pro.

I have never disliked Frank either. Intelligent bloke, very decent player and I have to admire that he's still playing for a top club. Shame about his choice of clubs but there you go.

He's a decent guy; just love calling him fat is all.

Nice touch by Lampard. And by Hughes as well.

He has always seemed a guy, and in reality the guy isn't even fat!

He moves like he is though.

My son enjoys reading the "Frankie's Magic Football" books that he wrote...
