The midfielder, currently with New York City FC, had a meeting with Chelsea fans in New York, where he also shared a few moments with former team-mate John Terry.

Frank Lampard still carries Chelsea in his heart, and so do the fans. During a fan gathering in New York City, the former Blues' midfielder made an appearance to talk about his days with the team. During the improvised meeting, Lampard shared his thoughts about who the team's leaders where, praising John Terry and Didier Drogba as the most influential inside the Blues' locker room.

"Drogba and John are the ones I'd put up there because of their influence not only on the pitch but in the dressing room. Didier was a monster. He was a massive link in the dressing room because in the modern day dressing room we have people from all over the world. Me and John had the English bit locked down but we needed a bit of help from Didier to bring it all together and he did that,"Lampard remembered.

The big moment for Chelsea fans came when they started chanting for the midfielder's return to Stamford Bridge. Lampard, visibly moved, replied he will be returning to what he considers to be "his home".

After the fan-gathering ended, Lampard shared a picture via his Instagram to record the moment.

Chelsea arrived yesterday to New York City, where the Blues will be playing a number of pre-season games. Their first outing will be on Wednesday, when Mourinho's crew faces MLS' New York City Red Bulls. Their next pre-season game will be on Saturday, when they clash against Ligue 1 Champions Paris Saint Germain. Finally, the Premier League champions will be facing Barcelona on July 28th.
