		Lampard´s importance to the English champions was highlighted yet again on 26 November when he made his 160th consecutive league appearance for the club against Portsmouth, a record in the Premiership´s short history.
		An inspirational presence in Chelsea´s midfield, it was typical of the player that he should mark this milestone with a goal, given he rivals the club´s strikers as the Londoners´ main scoring threat.
		After ending that season with double figures for Chelsea, he struck three times for England at UEFA EURO 2004, his first senior international tournament, and by the close of the 2004 calendar year was receiving recognition for this breakthrough in the shape of the prize for Official England Player of the Year.
