Frank Lampard responds to Wayne Rooney’s bizarre claims he and John Terry were ‘tucked into bed’ by Chelsea masseur
FRANK LAMPARD has fired back after Wayne Rooney claimed he and John Terry were “tucked into bed” by Chelsea’s masseur while on England duty.
Wazza made the claims earlier this month as he lifted the lid on life as a Three Lion.
Rooney revealed he loved an evening massage after having dinner.
But the Manchester United icon also added that Chelsea legends Lampard and Terry went even further with their treatment while on England call.
Rooney left fans stunned as he claimed the pair would be tucked into bed by a Chelsea masseuse — who would then massage their feet until they fell asleep.
Roo said: “I used to get one [massage] at 9pm, but the last ones after me were always JT [John Terry] and Lamps [Frank Lampard].
“Bill, who was the Chelsea masseuse, was there and he’d massage them, then they’d go into bed and get their feet out under the bed, and he’d massage them until they fell asleep.
“Gospel truth. He’d massage their feet until they fell asleep then he tucked them in. I swear.”
But Lampard has now hit back at Rooney, rubbishing the former England captain’s claims.
He admits getting massages from Chelsea’s masseuse while on international duty, as the physio was already there working for the England team.

Lampard said: “I need to have a word with him because he’s… would I call it selective memory?

“I don’t know what I’ll call it. Maybe he’s got the wrong end of the stick.
“I certainly never had my feet rubbed to make me fall asleep in my room.
“I’m just going to correct here. I’m not going to speak for John, but the story is Billy, the masseur was at Chelsea and England, for a period of time, we were all very close.
“So we would work, naturally we would work with Billy in the medical room.
“Occasionally he would come to our room and do work which is very normal. I’m sure Wayne’s had a similar situation.

While Turkey defender Mert Muldur has been ranked as the tournament’s BEST-LOOKING player.
But who is England’s sexiest star, and who makes the Euros’ hunkiest XI? Read our full story.
“But I just want to clarify that we certainly didn’t… I’m just trying to picture myself falling asleep and Billy’s finishing and quietly leaving the room.
“I would have been uncomfortable with that, and I love Billy.
“It does (make me sound like a prima donna). You can go where you want with it, so it absolutely didn’t happen.
“I’ve got witnesses, speak to Billy, get him on or whatever, it didn’t happen.
“But I’m all fair game, I don’t mind at all, I’m very relaxed about it. But you don’t want the wrong picture of yourself so I’ll have a chat with Wayne.
“No I’m not going to say (maybe John), I’m getting myself out and leaving John. I don’t believe John (had it either).
“I’ll have a chat with Wayne, he won’t care, it’s said now isn’t it.”
