Noble remembers Lampard’s words
The former Hammer gave Mark a piece of advice he has never forgotten which our midfielder recalled after missing his spot kick against Spurs.
Noble last missed from the spot in the 1-0 defeat by Chelsea back in 2009 and Lampard told him afterwards: “When you take the next one make sure you smash it into the back of the net.”
Noble said: “I will never forget those words and hopefully I’ll be doing just that. I’ve always told myself there will be one day when I will miss one.
“We got a harsh lesson on Saturday. It really was a heartache to miss against Spurs but I will still be stepping up for the next penalty we have.”
