Frank Lampard finally got the opportunity to bid Chelsea fans a 'proper goodbye' as he was paraded round Stamford Bridge at half-time of their match against Swansea.
The Chelsea legend announced his retirement from football a month ago following the expiration of his contract at MLS side New York City FC.
When Lampard joined Manchester City in 2014 he never had the chance to bid the Chelsea fans farewell and eventually scored against them in a 1-1 draw at the Etihad.
