Stoke boss Mark Hughes hails the "class" of Frank Lampard after the Manchester City midfielder swapped shirts with Potters teenager Oliver Shenton this week.
Shenton, 17, made his Premier League debut as a late substitute in Wednesday night's 4-1 loss to Manchester City at the Britannia Stadium only two days after his mother's funeral. City midfielder Lampard, who lost his own mother in 2008, sought out fellow midfielder Shenton after the game to have a chat and trade shirts.
"That is a great touch," says Hughes. "Obviously Frank has lost close family members as well and maybe that resonated with Frank. I think that shows his class."
Touch of class from the fat one.
