According to a reliable source, Frank Lampard is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the footballer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 10/04/2025 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Lampard for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 46-year-old footballer, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Lampard so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the footballer have already been named ‘English Of The Year’ by some major English newspapers and even ‘London Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in London (Frank Lampard's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the footballer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Frank Lampard Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 9 Apr 2025
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveFrank”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 9 Apr 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Frank Lampard?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 9 Apr 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Frank Lampard?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
