I’m really sad to have to tell you that Frank Lampard’s mother Pat has died this afternoon. I sent Frank a copy of all the comments you left on a previous thread and I am sure I can speak for you all when I send him and his father our sincere sympathies.

West Ham Till I Die 
Thats awful poor guy…my thoughts are with him and his family..P
Absolutely tragic. Thought she was getting better, all our thoughts are with the Lampard family.
This is very sad news. My thoughts are with the Lampard family at this time.
R.I.P
Frank Jnr and Family
Frank I hope you know that the banter around West Ham when you play is just that Banter.
I lost my mother a very early age my heart goes out to you,frank snr your Sisters and the rest of your family. God bless

I echo your words Ian and send my condolences to the Lampard family. Frank Snr was a hero of mine and I saw him make his debut and I had high hopes when his son made his that he would become another West Ham legend. It wasnt to be but maybe now is the time for the fans to forget the past lay off Frank – its time the booing stopped anyway.
Terrible news. My condolences to Frank Snr, Frank Jnr and the whole family.
It’s both sad and tragic…. 58 is no age at all.
I’m sure everyone’s sympathies are with the two Frank’s and the rest of the Lampard family during this sad time……..
My heart goes out to the Lampard’s in their time off pain. Your family is in my players.
Rest in peace Pat Lampard.
Iain, indeed it is very sad news. No matter what emnity might exist between us and Frank this goes beyond football and his father was a great servant of the club. I am truly sad at Snr and jnr’s loss and my thoughts are with them and all the Lampard family at this tragic time.
Respect & Sympathies to the Lampard Family
so sorry to hear.
Concur 100% with those thoughts. Anyone who has lost a parent knows how distressing an experience it is. My heartfelt condolences to the whole family.
thoughts go out to the family, may she rest in peace
So sorry to hear the sad news about Mrs Lampard, my thoughts go out to Frank snr and Frank jr and the rest of the family. Deepest sympathy.
Ian, thanks for passing on our sympathies to the Lampards at this very sad time.
So sorry to hear about Mrs Lampard. Coming from someone who lost his mother not long ago, I fully understand what the Franks are going thourgh. I’m sure again, that all true hammers fans would like to offer our sympathies.
Best wishes to Frank junior, Frank senior and all the family
Please give my condolences to all the Lampard famliy at this very sad time. My thoughts are with them.
behind every good man is a better woman.
the lampards both have been very lucky men.
rip
Sad news – I lost my mum when she was the same sort of age. Its too young. Commiserations to the Lampards.
Frank Sr & Jr, what a tragedy. At times like these we all realise what matters. My sympathies with your whole family.
Brings all of our usual, petty whinges into sharp focus.
RIP Pat Lampard.
I am sorry for your loss. However, she is in a better place.
We all know the conflict between Frank Jnr and West Ham but i agree with the previous sentiments. My sympathy goes to you and the Lampard family Frank. Football pales into insignificance against something like this.
Although i didn’t know Mrs Lampard,i felt a deep sadness as soon as i heard the news.The Lampards will always be assosiated with west ham and you can be certain everyone one in claret and blues thoughts are with your family.
Frank Sr was a hero of mine. My deepest respect to the whole Lampard Family
Terribly sad news,
All of the TwinHammers are deeply saddened by this loss.
Our commiserations to Frank and the family.
God Bless you Pat,R I P
Frank Snr and Frank jnr my heart and thousands of true West Ham fans hearts are with you and your families in your moment of sorrow. The loss of a Wife and mother leaves a void that can never be filled, with the departing of a loved one leaves years of happy memories. Mrs Lampard may you rest in peace.
Frank Snr & Jnr., So very sorry for your loss.
58 is no age at all. Maybe some sort of foundation should be formed with monies being directed towards finding out why pneumonia has now become such a devasting illness; it didn’t used to be. I would support it.
Im gutted to hear that! my heart goes out to poor old frank snr, frank jnr & the redknapp family…….from a die hard west ham fan, a member of the west ham family has gone……hope you play on saturday against united frank and score and win a trophy for u loss not that it would make up for it mind just ease the pain!! R.I.P Mrs L
To both franks my thoughts are with you,hope you find the strength to come through this.
I heard her death was caused by Pneumonia. Is Pneumonia same with Bronchitis? I suffer Bronchitis.
snr and jnr.
condolences to you both.
The Big Island Kona Mix Plate in Bend, Oregon sends a big ALOHA to the mother that has passed, may hey journey into heaven be a peaceful one! ALOHA!
Deepest Sympathy to the Lampard family.
I watched my mum die of a massive stroke,so
can appreciate what they are going through.
I too recently lost my mum (Jan 08′ – died also in hospital aged 68) and my thoughts are with the Franks and the family. I have always said that Frank junior was one of the best players to leave the club and Frank Snr is a West Ham legend. Very sad news for all WHU fans !

Last post should read ‘aged 68’ thanks
To all the Lampards my deepest sympathy at such a sad time. From the articles I have read about Mrs Lampard she was a strong woman who loved her family dearly and would do anything to protect them. We are all thinking of you.
I send my condolences to the Lampard family. frank jr was a hero of mine, wish he was still with us. He was one of our best players to leave the club. Big RESPECT Frank. I know this is not going to make up for your loss hope u beat Man U and Liverpoool.
Next time you play us at Upton Park give us a wave in the Bobby Moore stand. GOD BLESS.
Very sad. Condolences to the Lampards. Mrs L RIP
Very sad.
Condolences to both Frank’s and the rest of their family.
You only have one mum.
What awful news, can’t imagine how you must all be feeling. Our thoughts are with the whole Lampard family in this most difficult of times.
R.I.P Mrs Lampard
Sincere condolances to all Frank and all the Lampard/Redknap Familys
My condolences go out to the family at this tragic time !
Does anyone else think it may be a good idea to mark the passing in some sort of way at the game, perhaps a chant “SUPER FRANKY LAMPARDS !!!!!!” ? I think it is time to bury the hatchet and show that we are all as one ! The WHUFC family !???!!
Iain what do you think ? could you organise something along these lines ?
Condolences to the Lampard family.
We know Frank Snr, very well, and Frank Jnr, we met him for a week, when he taught us at Martin Allen Soccer School, think Frank Jnr had jst got his first starts back then.
I hope all the banter kinda stops, and we all move on, cause life is 2 short, he was West Ham, and Im sure he still is.
Very sad news. It would be very fitting for West Ham to wear the black armband on Saturday. The Lampards gave much to the club.
Rest in peace Pat, the woman behind a West Ham legend and well… JR.
Frank, west hams number 1.
My sympathys
Tom
My deepest sympathies to the whole Lampard family at this wretched time. You are in my thoughts. I wish you the fortitude to come to terms with your tragic loss, and every best wish for the future.
Sad news, condolences to the Lampard family.
I send my deepest sympathies to the entire Lampard family at their tragic loss. Frank Senior will always be a hero of mine, and I had hoped that Frank junior would develop into the same. Sadly he chose to do so at Chelsea, but he doesn’t deserve the barracking he gets at the Boleyn and I hope this will now cease.
God bless Frank, Senior & junior. Rest in Peace Pat
RIP Mrs L.
My love and thoughts go out to the family!
This ain’t a football thing!
Deepest sympathies to Franks jnr and snr. Would I be right in saying that Pat was Harry Redknapp’s sister? I seem to remember that Frank snr and Harry married one another’s sisters. Condolences to Harry too if so.
Would be fitting if WHU can compete and beat Man U so showing that the fans hold no ‘real’ malice to Frank. Could someone going to Trafford take a banner to remind the lads to fight hard for the memory of Mrs Lampard.
