Chelsea’s Frank Lampard believes he would have no problem keeping quiet if the use of his hand led to a goal, Thierry Henry-style, especially if it meant World Cup glory for England.
The Barcelona striker was widely criticised for not immediately coming clean when his handball led to William Gallas’ winning goal for France against Ireland in their World Cup qualification play-off.
Yet Lampard couldn’t imagine owning up if he did the same thing in a vital match with the Three Lions.
"You know, I probably wouldn't say anything,” the midfielder is quoted as saying by ShortList magazine.
"I felt a bit sorry for Henry [Thierry Henry], because it was an instinctive action.
"I think it's probably easier to own up after the game. At least you're through then!
"That is probably the wrong thing to say, isn't it? But if I did own up and it cost us the game, I would probably be lynched when I got back to England."
The Blues midfielder, who has scored 19 times this season, has 20 goals for his country from an impressive 76-caps.
