See the fantastic Roy Hodgson Frank pun, slipped in to the England manager’s pre-match interview before the game against Poland last night.

Talking about his team selection for the World Cup Qualifying Group H clash, the conversation turned to veteran Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard who had been listed as a substitute.

Hodgson asserted:

To be frank… Lampard could have played tonight.

Pleased with his efforts, the now hailed nation’s leader allowed himself a little chuckle, albeit slightly nervously as he presumably anticipated the task ahead.

Roy needn’t have worried though. As we all know, England won 2-0 and are now well on their way to winning the World Cup in Brazil next summer.

Watch the full Roy Hodgson Frank pun below:

Lampard eventually came on for Michael Carrick after 71 minutes as the story continued, but no further Frank puns were heard.

Though Hodgson did declare “it feels great” in a post-match interview.
