It has been widely reported that the Chelsea FC footballer Frank Lampard gained a significantly high score on an IQ test taken by the team at Stamford Bridge. 

Dr Brian English, the football club’s doctor, conducted the IQ tests as part of a research project looking at the relationship between head injuries and neurological development. Dr English has reportedly said ‘Frank Lampard scored one of the highest set of marks ever recorded by the company doing the tests.’
