Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has been hailed as a genius after recording an amazing IQ rating – just short of Albert Einstein.

Chelsea club doctor Bryan English dished the test out to all of the Stamford Bridge players and Lampard scored ‘well above 150’

Einstein had an IQ rating of 160 – the same as Microsoft founder Bill Gates – while Beethoven had a rating of 165 and Bill Clinton scored 137.

English said: ‘Frank Lampard scored one of the highest sets of marks ever recorded by the company doing the tests. And higher than me.’


The average Briton scores 100.

Lampard was educated at the fee-paying Brentwood School in Essex where he obtained an A in Latin.
