VIDEO: Frank Lampard taking on a rope ladder is the saddest thing we’ve ever seen

Darragh Murphy

Frank Lampard displayed all the grace of a suitcase falling down an escalator when met with a rope ladder on holiday.

The Chelsea legend got his feet to the first rung while enjoying some time off before he finally makes his debut for New York City FC this summer.

It all went pear-shaped, though, when he realised that he had about a dozen more rungs to overcome.

Watch as he flails, grimaces and flexes before tumbling into the water with not even a trace of the athleticism he showed during his 20 years in English football.
