Lampard is the fifth inductee. Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry were the inaugural inductees, while Eric Cantona and Roy Keane were added on Tuesday.

Reacting to the recognition: Lampard said: “As a young lad I remember just wanting to make it into the West Ham team, and looking up to players like Roy Keane, Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry so to be mentioned in the same bracket as them is a real honour.
“I am very proud and thankful for the recognition.”
