Former England and Chelsea midfield star Frank Lampard said he was retiring today at the age of 38 after turning down "a number of exciting offers" in Britain and abroad. Lampard did not say what he plans to do next, but said he was grateful to the Football Association for the opportunity to do his coaching badges, suggesting he may go into management.Lampard left New York City FC in the autumn and also played for West Ham United and Manchester City in the Premier League.But it was at Stamford Bridge where he really made his name as a prolific midfielder.He scored 211 times for Chelsea and won every major club honour, netting the goals which in 2005 secured the club's first championship title in 50 years.
