Eyebrows raised over an original £11 million transfer fee paid six years ago have long been forgotten now Frank has an impressive collection of winners' medals; is Chelsea's top scoring midfield player ever; is the club's tenth highest scorer of all-time and is only the second player to win 50 international caps while a Chelsea player.

Last season, his 62 games was the highest total by any Chelsea player in a single campaign as Frank continued to drive Chelsea on from midfield game after game after game. No-one of his age has enjoyed more Premiership soccer and no-one plays more at Chelsea.

In December 2005, he finally missed a game with a virus and so brought to an end a new Premiership record of 164 consecutive appearances.

The performances continued to come, as did the goals, Frank's powerful shooting firing Chelsea to the 2004/5 Championship as he top-scored from midfield with 13 in the League and 19 overall.

He created more goals than any Chelsea player in recent memory and there was no-one more appropriate to score the magical goals at Bolton to clinch the title.
