"I hadn't realised that at all": An emotional Frank Lampard reflects on promotion to the Premier League with Coventry City

Coventry City's Journey to the Top

Frank Lampard has guided founding member Coventry City back to the Premier League, and the achievement clearly moves him. The Sky Blues had suffered a steep decline.

Reliving the Past

Coventry City were primed to end their long period of suffering. While ‘Super Frank’ Lampard celebrated wildly with players and fans in Blackburn, an elaborate video was already circulating on social media. On vintage CRT TVs propped beside dusty sports cars, clips of the 2001 relegation from the Premier League—tears and all—faded into the defiant vow: “We’ll be back.” Then the final cut: “We are back!”

• Coventry City were relegated from the Premier League in 2001.
• The team has been away from the Premier League for 25 years.
• Frank Lampard has guided the team back to the Premier League.
