‘Elderly’ Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo trolled by New York fans’ comic banner

Ageist

Harsh but true

Frank Lampard started his first game for New York City on Sunday night as they lost to the New York Red Bulls, while for his teammate Andrea Pirlo it was yet another appearance stateside.

The two midfielders are among the marquee players signed by the new franchise, but that didn’t stop their cross city rivals poking fun at the 36-year-old English man and his similarly aged colleague.

The Red Bull fans unveiled this banner in their end of the ground during the game and there may be a little bit of truth in what they’re saying.

Just a tiny bit.

Although it at least hasn’t got quite to this stage yet
