The venue is a Fans Forum in East London back in 1996. Frank Lampard was just 18 years old. Harry Redknapp was his manager at West Ham United. And the Hammers boss was adamant that Frank would go to the very top when a disgruntled fan told him Lampard was not as good at Scott Canham or Matt Holland.
"I did not want to say this in front of him. But he will go right to the very top. Right to the very top," insisted Redknapp.
"There ain't no doubt about that in my opinion. Because he's got everything that's needed to become a top class midfield player. His attitude is first class. he's got strength. He can play. he can pass it. And he can score goals."
When challenged by the fan who criticised him for letting Scot Canham and Matt Holland leave the club, Harry repeated his conviction when he said: "I'm telling you I couldn't feel more strong how I feel about him."
While Lampard looked on embarrassed by the criticism, chief executive Peter Storrie weighed in to support his manager saying: "It's not just Harry's opinion. I don't know if many of you knew but during the European champions in the summer England decided to take several young players from all over the country to various training sessions. When terry Venables came to the ground to speak to Harry and I not too long ago, he said there were two outstanding youngsters of all the ones he had. That was Frank and Rio (Ferdinand). "
It was a lively evening in East London with Iain Dowie and Mark Rieper also on the top table. Dowie, then a Hammers striker and PFA representative, gave a good account of himself. An early indication that he was suited to management and dealing with the media. Great sense of humour.
Some interesting comments too on Hugo Porfiorio.

"What lampard will achieve in football" harry you was bang on mate. Hindsight ..brilliant
Foresight.
Thomas Hardcastle foreskin
Im watching this in 2019 just as Frank has been named Chelsea MANAGER , after being Chelsea's best ever goal scorer ! And he played MIDFIELD , Harry redknapp saw what no one else didn't see
Apart from his father!?
Talk about humble pie
Franks a legend, dirty arry is a thief!
I saw he'd be a player alright just really annoyed his old man and him were hounded out of the Club and he's a legend at Chelsea and not West Ham like his Old Man!
Sold him for peanuts too!
Just goes to show how manager's are the real experts.
+Matthew Lofthouse This is the same Redknapp who left Bale in the reserves for ages, tried to sell him to Forest on the cheap, and only gave him a chance during an injury crisis, whereupon Bale almost immediately showed his class.
***** No. He played him because of the injury crisis. He spotted nothing. He tried to flog him to Forest not long before he was finally forced to give him a chance.
***** Mate, he would have seen him every day in training. I'm not giving Redknapp any credit for noticing that Bale's quick! He didn't rate him, tried to flog him on the cheap, and only gave him a run in the team because injuries meant he had no other choice. At which point Bale made himself undroppable. Redknapp had nothing to do with Bale's success.
Redknapp is a fantastic manager who did a great job with Bournemouth, West Ham and Portsmouth. He was the man who led Spurs into the Champions League after years of missing out on a CL spot. He built up what on paper was a great squad at QPR but the players with their big pay-packets didn't perform 100% and I'm sure he'll take on another club and win another trophy with them!
And bale is still on the bench
'Arry OWNED him. And credit to Frank, mature beyond belief.
you'll want to start here 17:00 to hear the mug asking a question about Frank Lampard and Harry Redknapp's strident reply.

I can picture that geezer in his van reading the paper about frank lifting the champions league trophy
Lamps is quality. Love his attitude.
Redknapp's head enters the picture at 17:11. he leans foward thinking "I'm gonna put this muppet in his place."

Would love to hear what that muppet fan has to say now 😂
definitely
What most of those Clowns that doubted Frank Jnr know about Football could be written on the back of a postage stamp!
Just taking my boy to Football and He's an attacking midfielder and wants to add more goals to his game.
I'm showing him Frank when he was at my club,West Ham Utd (and what might have been if We hadn't have hounded him and his Old Man out of the Club) and his progression at Chelsea!
Gutted he's a legend at Chelsea and not a legend like Frank Snr at West Ham United,the boy done good!
Go knows if he does well at Chelsea who is to say the England job wouldn't be out of his depth at a later stage?
This was in lampards book.. about how he would love to meet that punter today!! Obviously still in lampards mind!!
The fella would probably act like he said it to drive him on and tell "You have a lot to thank me for" 😂😂
Love the fact that when Sky made a documentary about Lampard he insisted they licensed this clip which meant we actually got paid. Nice one Frank
I wonder if matey has rewatched this or remembers the day he tried to mug off frank lampard haha
Not only does Harry nail on his predictions about Frank, he gets Canham and Holland right as well. He says that Matty Holland might, in fact, be good enough to bounce back to the First Division. Didn’t say that about Canham.
Got everything right.
@Mark Sesum yep by scoring in the world cup he did something frank didn't
@Mark Sesum i agree about Holland. But nail on head about Frank and Canham
Spot on Harry. Managers know.
20 years later that lad Bilic they're talking about became manager and that capacity of 36,500 became 60,000 at the Olympic stadium
Ohh.. Lampard was "very good" and became a premier league legend. "Right to the very top"
held about 25 k in 96 but did get bigger to about that some years later, but lets be honest Lampard was a bit of a playboy in his early years at west ham they called him fat frank still do, was not quite the pro everyone makes him out to be till he joined Chelsea really, but was a great player
and west ham still won fuck all
Moving to the new stadium was a massive mistake. West Ham just feels like a different club now.
Given that Frank was there, that was a bit of a dick comment! Fair play to Lampard though for what he has achieved.
TONE you’re deffo autistic. Lampard is the man
One of the greatest English footballers now. Scottie Who?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Canham
And he did go right to the very top.
I wish they did this type of thing today!
The picture of an
If only mate. I could never see sullivan and Gold facing the music.
They do.
Truth is this was a private event for Hammers fans that we helped organise and filmed exclusively. Few production companies have that kind of relationship with football clubs any more.
And he did
That last question was absolutely brutal lol
God I miss 1996!!
riddley39 that was the last time you saw a vagina in person I assume lol
Just to make a point. Harry Redknapp is sitting where he is and the bloke questioning Frank Lampard is sat where he is for a reason..
And how Frank stared at the guy who questioned his ability... It must have hurt him so bad.
Very difficult to deal with such daring criticism.
But he has since given his reply.
he let his football do the talking
@@RetroFootball90 Absolutely!
Where is that Mug now one off the best Midfielders in the premier league
Spurs fan by the way
spurs fan as well , frank was top man
@@DEPANNEMAN I remember well, as a Chelsea fan, being less than impressed that "we'd" signed Lampard instead of Michael Carrick! I also remember being absolutely delighted when we signed Mickey Hazard from you lot! I thought he was almost as good as Goddle!
Iain Dowie now works as a salesman
Dowie has a Masters Degree in Engineering and has worked as a guided missile Engineer.
He works for sky sports
Lamps left because he was far too good and Harry was bang on. Thickle fans expecting youth players to be the complete article and disregarding any observations regarding the potential that led these players to go on and be successful when WHU went nowhere of any note without them is laughable.
I can remember Arsenal fans being just as critical of Jack Wilshire shortly after he'd broken into their first team.
@@MisAnnThorpe Wilshere and broken in the same sentence. Ironic
and that's why they pay him the big bucks..
I wonder if that terrace expert looks back at this with his head in his hands? Harry was spot on, & in fact Frank probably achieved even more than he expected in truth.
".....if he goes to Manchester United- or one of the other top teams like Newcastle"!!!!! Blimey this is an old video.

@@VISIONSPORTTV Must be old, Newcastle haven't been a top team since Nelson got blinded in one eye!
It’s the Spurs thing. Any team that floats about at the top of the Prem, English fans think are massive. They don’t actually have to go through the trouble of winning anything.
Ace Harris Newcastle did a bit more than that to be fair. They came desperately close to winning the league twice and it was generally accepted that they played the best football in the league.
Harry wasn’t wrong about lampard
Harry the fortune teller
Harry must of had a crystal ball back then, the very top 😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻⚒⚒⚒⚒⚒
Same one John Lennon had when he said The Beatles were going to the very top.
"I'm not sure really" 😂😂😂🤧 cracking sarcasm from Redknapp, absolutely nailed it.
Frank was so innocent hahahaha
17:03
Not only was Harry correct about Frank Lampard.
His predictions about the other two were pretty accurate.
Matt Holland "Might bounce back" - Well he did go on to have a very solid career 200+ Premier league appearances and he also represented Ireland at the 2002 WC
Scott Canham "There will be no comparison between what Frank Lampard will achieve in football and what Scot Canham will achieve " - Basically spent the rest of his career bouncing around between lower league & Non-League clubs.
Lol he's saying the East Stand has to be rebuilt first but it was the West Stand that was, the East Stand remained til 2016 when we left.
Harry knows the game and was he right about young Frank Lampard or what?
Harry, spot on about Frank! Might have upset a few by saying Notts forest though!
H is such a class act and his longevity is remarkable. What amazing archive of Frank Lampard
Legendary clip

Come on, Iain Dowie's scoring ratio was terrible. Not doubting the success that FL has had. Excellent player
Delboy at 14:10
Ben Nolan 😂
"Not good enough yet".
He said yet! common!
Uncle's are very protective of their nephews like Harry defending Frank
"That is Martin Samuels from the Sunday People innit?" HAHAHA classic Harry
when your boss, family, parent and others believe in you. what’s boost in confidence for Frank. He must have been floating on air. “he’ll go right to the very top”
15:22 Ryan from West Ham TV
Why do they all sound like Rodney from Only Fools and Horses?! Haha
authentic east end wide boys lol
How about F#*k you!
Bryan Robson has let himself go.
Wasn't Harry right the legend that he is. Frank Lampard was one of the best midfielder's ever and did go right to the very top. One of the best midfielder's ever well done Frank mate your Mum and Dad I'm sure are very proud of you bless your Mum Amen. Well done in your career's Frank, Harry and all the lad's
That I guess gave a big push Frank up to the very top.
They don't always get everything correct, but boy Harry made a good call this day. I bet he watches this back and smirks
Glad I heard the goose slagging Frank Lampard. What was that guys name? Exactly, Mr Nobody.
Great guy Harry, great club, love the "proof" of a world class player used to be Glasgow Rangers tried to sign them, I miss those days, haha
Maybe that fella actually already knew Lamps would be immense, but slated him in the knowledge he would be forever talked about online for making a fool of himself.
No comonsense in that lol
chicken jalfrezi with rice please
17:04 Lampard not good enough
Lampard will go right to the very top
‘What about Scott Canham’. Super Frankie Lampard
To be fair to this bloke Matt Holland was good enough.
Maybe he had to go down to come back up?
You’ll notice that Harry says he might be good enough to bounce back to the First Division.
Decent player
Yeah, but Scott Canham wasn't, and none of them were as good as Lampard. Harry did say that they were all decent players, and that Holland was good enough to bounce back to the first division.
who is the guy to the right of dowie?
marc rieper
Where is that fan now
Probably still drinking
who's Hugo?
Hugo Porfirio, some Portuguese player thay had
jonybeam Hugo Lloris was 10 when this was filmed
@jonybeam shit joke
@jonybeam I'm sorry but that doesn't come across as humour.
Not Norwegian but Norf region striker lol
Ol Frank always did talk a lot of sense
He spot Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard and Gareth bale
He was right about Frankie Lampard wasnt he. All time Chelsea goalscorer!.
Is that the grim RIEPER?
Marc Rieper ✅
typical West Ham fans...
cant anyone with some strong researching skills look this guy up?
it has been suggested the guy was scott canham's uncle.we'd love to interview him to see what he thinks now
can hardly recognise Frank Lampard
You can recognise his speech defect, he never could talk proppa!
He was 17yrs old
Harry the mullet man
Thats not a mullet you muppet.
Keep your thoughts to yourself you lost we won !
Hold the phone. 4:50 that water looks like vodka. Not a good look.
17:12 How Wrong You Are 😂😂😂😂
fucking brilliant love this !
Quality
Harry was right ! Frank was in my opinion the best ever Chelsea player !!
Osgood? Chopper? Zola? Gullit?
Who the fuck is Scott canham?
the guy probably biffed because he thought Harry was just favoritism. Harry was right to say he got his own opinion. Frankly, I really didn't think he was that good at west ham. But, when he came to Chelsea, Mourinho made him a midfield goal-scoring machine.
don't think mourinho had anything to do with it. Frank was a quality player following in his dad's footsteps
It's my opinion, that's your opinion, football is a game of opinions in my opinion and my opinion is that your opinion is irrelevant in the rectal vernacular of ... my opinion.
I was a season ticket holder during this period, went to a lot of away games, friendlies and youth games. The abuse that Lampard Jnr got during his playing time has been over blown and exaggerated. Yes there were fans who thought he was only making the team because of his Dad and Uncle but it certainly wasn't all of the supporters or even the majority. It all started with Redknapp losing the support of the fans because he was buying some absolute crap and wasting transfer cash and then making a joke of it as if it was the players fault and not his. For every decent player he was buying he was buying 2 or 3 that were failing and we were struggling in the league. When he and Lampard Snr were sacked was when the Lampard Jnr thing really kicked off.
West Ham were lucky to have Lampard in the first place. And only had him because of his dad and uncle. What did Hammers expect to happen when they sacked Harry and Frank snr. Especially as they are a selling club and don’t know how to keep or look after talent. I knew many hammers players and did business with the club for years. Even sponsored a match back in the 90s and there was zero loyalty to me and my company when they took a bung from a rival. Since Harry and Peter Storrie left the club have lacked style and dignity. Sad because I used to drink with Bobby Moore and once had respect for the club even though I’m from Manchester and they are not my team.
%
Scott Canham was a better player though
Correct, Fat Frank did go right to the top, but not wiv the 'ammers, right ;arry? He knew they was goin' nowhere fast so 'e jumped ship and went up west to Chelsea. Good move Fat Boy!
Fat boy😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Frank JNR was a decent player. But he didn't play that well when he was at West Ham. He got fed up with people saying he was only in the team because his uncle was the manager and his father was the assistant manager. When Harry and Frank SNR were sacked by the club, Frank JNR could have stayed and proved that he was in the team on merit. However he couldn't wait to leave as soon as 2 if his closest family members went. Lampard didn't really do much at Chelsea until Abramovich took over and then he became surrounded by better players. I don't begrudge Frank JNR any of his successes in the game at all but some of the things he has said over years about west ham have just been wrong and ridiculous and at times spiteful. Good player but not a great player
OLI PRJ that’s clearly not true as Terry Venables recognised when he was England manager. And Chelsea paid a fortune for him based on his brilliant form for West Ham. I’m a Man Utd fan and think it was scandalous Scholes was left out of the England side in favour of Lampard. But don’t try to re write history by claiming he was not a great player. Lampard Snr was treated badly by West Ham so it was no surprise his son would leave for a bigger and better club. Now the Hammers have lost their soul and their spiritual home and desperately miss these days when they had a decent club. It’s a shame because West Ham have great fans.
@@VISIONSPORTTV sorry what's not true? I'm not trying to re write any history? Venables only saw him when he trained with England when they took that group of youngsters with them. Chelsea probably bought him on the back of one good performance. Let's not forget Ken Bates would chuck money away on players like Chris Sutton (disaster signing) so west ham were never going to turn down 11milion at the time. My opinion is he was good but not great. Opinion that's all. Scholes and Gerrard were better I agree on that.
OLI PRJ No problem my friend. Football is all about opinions. I do remember Lampard at West Ham quite well because we filmed all their matches in those days and I thought he was always decent for them. He obviously got better at Chelsea. But 11M was a huge fee back then so he must have been a pretty good player. As for my old friend Ken Bates he was quite miserly with his money and he was unlucky with Sutton because he was amazing first at Norwich and then won the premier league in the famous SAS strikeforce for Blackburn. I sat next to Sutton on a trip back from a European match with Norwich in Holland when he was just starting to score loads of goals - John Gubba
He was spiteful towards West Ham, mainly though I think it was because he was hurt that his dad got the sack along with Harry and the fans had never taken to him the way they did with Rio. If you imagine being a kid who has been West Ham all your life to see the fans reject you and the owner sack your uncle and dad it’s not that surprising to lash out a bit. Frank took it too far though and the fans took it too far. I’d like to think with the passage of time that Frank regrets some of the comments and the wind up badge kissing he used to do when back at Upton Park. He had a better career away from West Ham than he ever could have done with us and that’s a sad reflection on the club but he also got lucky because Chelsea were on the verge of bankruptcy before Abramovich rocked up.
lampard great player not as good as Steve G
Do we have to go down the 'who's better - Lampard or Gerrard' route. Can't people just except they were equally as good.
Regardless of this video and all Lampards achievements he was the most overrated English player of his generation. Without Abramovich’s superstar foreigners he was good but nothing more. A complete ghost for England when playing with average players which showed how being at Chelsea flattered him. Was overhyped because of the lack of quality English players and benefitted from the public buying the whole ‘Gerrard - Lampard cant play together’ bollocks. Ballon D’or runner up?? Dont make me laugh!!!
Don't agree with your overrated comment because Frank was an extremely good player, but the real scandal is that he was favoured over Paul Scholes which was a criminal waste by England.
Jim Smith You sound like a typical Liverpool and Gerard fan. If you look down this comments section you will see that you are a minority of one.
Joke of the day lol..
@@Trev359 couldn't have said it any better. 👏
Jim Smith, at long last we know the name of the Scott Canham fan.
