10 things footballers did after getting drunk

#2 Frank Lampard

Frank Lampard is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to have worn the Chelsea shirt. Today, he stands as the top goalscorer in the club’s history and is one of the most respected players in the modern game.

But the former Blues midfielder seemed to have lost all his class back in September 2001 at the Heathrow International airport when he mocked and swore at stranded US tourists after flights were grounded due to the 9/11 attacks by terrorists on the World Trade Center. The 36-year-old did all of this under the influence of alcohol after going on a 5-hour drinking binge before returning to the Posthouse hotel where they abused hotel guests.

Lampard and his fellow players were heavily fined for the incident that happened when Chelsea’s game against Levski Sofia of Bulgaria was suspended as a mark of respect for those killed on 9/11. Even the hotel manager described their behaviour as disgusting as they didn’t seem to care about the tragic incident.
