QPR midfielder Derry: I did 'think' about asking Lampard for Chelsea shirt

QPR midfielder Shaun Derry admits he backed off from asking Frank Lampard for his Chelsea shirt after Sunday's win.

Derry was one of only two QPR players booked following a bust-up with Frank Lampard, who he nevertheless considered asking to swap shirts.

"I had my shirt in my hand but perhaps that was pushing it a bit," said the 33-year-old, who spent almost his entire career in the lower leagues and is enjoying a second bite at the big time.

"I'm loving my football and I don't want it to end.

"I realise it will come to an end but I will look back on this day with a great deal of fondness."
