Hundreds of Chelsea FC fans queued to meet Frank Lampard as he launched his new children’s book.

The England player signed copies of Frankie Vs the Mummy’s Menace, the latest edition in his series of books called Frankie’s Magic Football.

Fans young and old, many dressed in their blue Chelsea kits, were excited to meet the football star at Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd’s Bush on Wednesday (Feb 19).

Inspired by the football stories, he invented for his own children, Lampard’s colourful books tell the story of a group of friends who are whisked off on incredible adventures by a magical football.

The event was organised by bookshop Foyles.
