Frank Lampard gave schoolboy £200 after running over his bike

More often than not, many people will not give a hoot if they run over people's or kids bikes. My respect for Frank Lampard just went up a notch. You are OK in my books Frank!

The Chelsea midfielder struck the 14-year-old's BMX as he reversed. Then Lampard jumped from his Range Rover, convinced he had run over the lad in a London street. But the boy, who was not on the bike, was unhurt - and Lampard gave him the cash to get a new BMX.Lampard's agent Steve Kutner said:

"All sorts of things were going through Frank's mind. "He saw the bike in his mirror and was sure he'd run the boy over. "Frank checked the lad was OK and asked how much the bike cost. "The boy said it was worth £100, so Frank gave him £200 in cash. It was the least he could do. "If anything, Frank was more upset than the boy."
