Frank Lampard has a special bond with his Derby players, Shay Given reveals
Shay Given says Derby boss Frank Lampard has a special bond with his players.The Rams became the first club in play-off history to lose the first leg of their semi-final at home and still progress following a remarkable 4-2 triumph against Leeds at Elland Road.2

Lampard went nuts after the victory

It tasted extra sweet for Lampard, who was the subject of ridicule from Leeds fans after the Spygate saga earlier in the season.The Derby boss had the last laugh, though, by leading the chants of Stop Crying Frank Lampard in the dressing room – and reports claim he then picked up a 2,800 bar bill in a local pub.SNAPCHAT2

The bill believed to be Lampard’s

And Given, Derbys goalkeeping coach, says the Chelsea legend has developed a unique relationship with his young squad.It was a special night for us, Given told talkSPORT.We enjoyed the moment and we know weve got a massive final to play. The players and the staff see Franks emotions before the games, at half-time and after the games.They know what it means to him and he really has bonded with this group of players.Thats shown after the game, but before the game he had the lads fired up and well organised because Marcelo Bielsas Leeds are a fantastic team as well.

We knew we had to get the system right and how we played right.The bar bill, believed to be Lampards, featured 209 beers, 75 Jagermeisters and one diet coke which certainly didnt belong to Given.If you believe that, youll believe anything! he added.
