https://youtu.be/4CpOH3xeZSI for Frank Lampard after his first team debut
Fan tells Redknapp: Scott Canham better than Lampard: For full coverage of this event go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyJ51SfLQTU
The venue is a Fans Forum in East London back in 1996. Frank Lampard was just 18 years old. Harry Redknapp was his manager at West Ham United. And the Hammers boss was adamant that Frank would go to the very top when a disgruntled fan told him Lampard was not as good at Scott Canham or Matt Holland.
“I did not want to say this in front of him. But he will go right to the very top. Right to the very top,” insisted Redknapp.
“There ain’t no doubt about that in my opinion. Because he’s got everything that’s needed to become a top class midfield player. His attitude is first class. he’s got strength. He can play. he can pass it. And he can score goals.”
When challenged by the fan who criticised him for letting Scot Canham and Matt Holland leave the club, Harry repeated his conviction when he said: “I’m telling you I couldn’t feel more strong how I feel about him.”
While Lampard looked on embarrassed by the criticism, chief executive Peter Storrie weighed in to support his manager saying: “It’s not just Harry’s opinion. I don’t know if many of you knew but during the European champions in the summer England decided to take several young players from all over the country to various training sessions. When terry Venables came to the ground to speak to Harry and I not too long ago, he said there were two outstanding youngsters of all the ones he had. That was Frank and Rio (Ferdinand). ”

'aary's best moment this. He just said "it's a game of opinions and i get paid for my opinion".
Scotty Canham still a better manager than Frank
Harry you’re the man.
This is cool. Redknapp said it would happen without any doubt in his mind at all, and it did happen!
One of greatest comments in football he said i believe in years to become he become one of England greatest midfielders
Frank Lampard 🤝 harry Redknapp is Daniel the Daniel west ham family
RIGHT TO THE VERY TOP!
If this today, the world would melt down.
If anyone can canham cant.
Where is Frank's neck?
The guy who said that shouldn't ever be allowed to make a opinion about anything football related ever again.
And now barely anyone can remember Scott’s name and lampard is written into football legend
Has anyone ever been more right than Harry is here? Lampard went on to make over 600- premier league appearances (4th all-time), to become Chelsea's all-time leading scorer, to win 106 caps for England (8th on the all-time list), to win three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, the Europa League, and, as Captain, the Champions League. Canham never made a single appearance in the top flight. No comparison.
I’m a west ham supporter and truly embarrassed by the morons in this room
He also callled it on Matt Holland, bounced back as a solid division 1 premier league player and played in World Cup with ROI.
Love that clubs did this with the fans. A frank discussion over a few beers and cigs 😂
You can see in Harry's face what you talking about haha @2:25
2:55 underrated part of the clip. It's crazy how great Rio and Lampard's career turned out to be
You can't argue with a man whose dog is so smart that it has its own Monaco savings account.
Frank who? Did this guy do anything decent after?
Kidding, ….lol
