Some of sports biggest stars including Frank Lampard, Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo were all given the honour of being included in the new Guinness World Records book... and it may comes as a surprise to see Chris Smalling handed two awards.

New York City star Lampard was presented with his for the most Premier League teams scored against, after former club Chelsea became victim No 39.

Legend Andy Cole previously held the record with 38, but the 37-year-old trumped him after coming off the bench for Manchester City to fire home a trademark strike at the Etihad Stadium.

Lampard was delighted to be featured in the book and spoke about being a huge fan.

He said: 'I set goals throughout my career to break records and this is one I never imagined to get. I am a big fan of the books and always read the books with my daughters before bed so to feature in it is amazing.

'It was a weird feeling when I scored but it did get me the record so I am also very happy with the goal.'

Jose Mourinho was the man in charge when Lampard broke his record but it's not all bad for the Chelsea boss, after he was awarded with four different awards.

The Guinness World Records book team visited the Cobham training ground to present the 52-year-old with his certificates, which included: The most Points in a Premier League season (95), most Champions League's won at different clubs (two), youngest manager to reach 100 Champions League games (49 years 12 days) and most games unbeaten at home in the Premier League (77).

In pure Mourinho style, he admitted he was looking forward to winning future prizes: 'The fact that I can hang these awards in my office is nice. It's something fun and as a kid you could never imagine that one day you would be in Guinness World Records Book. I'm now more focused on winning the next game than on what I've done in the last 10 or 15 years.'

Manchester United defender Smalling also bagged himself two records after scoring the fastest goal in the Premier League by a substitute from kick-off, when he netted against Burnley in just five minutes nine seconds last season.

He scored again to earn himself a second record, for the most goals in the Premier League scored by a substitute in the first half to join the likes of Lampard, Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Of course you can't forget Real Madrid star Ronaldo, who scored his 27th hat-trick in La Liga - overtaking club legend Alfredo Di Stefano - and is also the most followed athlete and person on both Facebook (over 100 million likes) and Twitter (over 27m followers).

With the Rugby World Cup just around the corner, it's fitting that New Zealand legend Dan Carter was presented with three different records.

The All Blacks fly half and record breaking point scorer looked delighted as he was handed framed certificates for most international conversions (260), penalties (258), and international points amassing in excess of 1500 points over the duration of his career.

Carter, who will feature for New Zealand in this summer's World Cup, will also become the 'Highest Paid Rugby Union Player' when he joins Club Racing Metro after the tournament, earning a reported€1.5million over one year.
