Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has voted Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney the best player he has ever played with. The 31 year old told Daily Star Sunday: "Wazza is the best I've played with.

"When Wayne exploded on to the England scene at 17 I'd never seen anything like him for his power.

"His awareness is exceptional - it's his key strength.

"Zola is top class as a player and coach.

"But the football Wayne is producing for England makes him a very special player."
