Video of Lampard celebrating 2012 CL win with fans proves he's Chelsea through and through

Frank Lampard is a bona fide Chelsea legend.

As a player with the Blues, the Englishman was truly world-class for a number of years and his stats almost beggar belief.

In 648 appearances across all competitions, Lampard scored 211 goals and assisted a further 150, an outrageous return for a midfielder.

The 43-year-old's brilliance saw him win three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, the Europa League and - most importantly - the Champions League.

Lampard won club football's biggest competition with Chelsea in 2012, the midfield maestro playing the full 120 minutes in the final against Bayern Munich and scoring in the penalty shootout.

Didier Drogba's spot kick was the one that famously secured victory for the Blues in the Allianz Arena and sparked scenes of wild celebration among the English contingent in Bavaria that evening.

And Lampard proved he really is Chelsea through and through with his actions in the immediate aftermath of the team's incredible, nail-biting European triumph.

As soon as the win was confirmed, Lampard sprinted straight over to the fans on the pitch and shared a passionate embrace with a number of them.

You could make a 13 year compilation of why Frank Lampard is Chelsea… but here’s 30 seconds to sum it up.

His first thought in the greatest moment of his career was the fans. Then. Now. Forever.
