Chelsea assistant boss Ray Wilkins has hit out at Premiership fans over the barracking of star man Frank Lampard.

After victory over Middlesbrough, Wilkins barked to chelseafc.com: "I have been to a lot of stadiums this year. We have a world class midfield player in Frank Lampard who represents us week in week out at probably eight-and-a-half, nine out of ten, and whichever ground he plays at, he gets called 'you fat whatever', now is that respect? No it's not, and that's every ground.

"He plays for England, these are English supporters giving Frank stick. We have a social problem, let's get that right. I am all for Respect."
