Frank Lampard aims to mark his 100th England cap with win



UKRAINE v ENGLAND - WORLD CUP GROUP H QUALIFIER

Frank Lampard says he is more concerned about helping England beat Ukraine in Tuesday's World Cup qualifier than winning his 100th cap for his country.
The Chelsea midfielder will become only the eighth Three Lions player to reach the milestone if he features in Kiev.
England top Group H but will be leapfrogged by Ukraine if they lose.
"The main thing is to get the result," said Lampard, 35. "I just hope to be involved. It wouldn't be enjoyable to get to 100 and not do it right."

Members of England's 100 club

125: Peter Shilton (1970-1990)
115: David Beckham (1996-2009)
108: Bobby Moore (1962-1973)
106: Bobby Charlton (1958-1970)
105: Billy Wright (1946-1959)
104: Ashley Cole (2001-present)
104: Steven Gerrard (2000-present)
Lampard made his England debut under Kevin Keegan and alongside Alan Shearer, Paul Ince and David Seaman in a 2-1 friendly win over Belgium at Sunderland's Stadium of Light in October 1999.
Since then he has gone on to score 29 times for his country and has captained them five times.
He will join a select band of centurions to have played 100 times for England if he features against Ukraine, a list that includes current international team-mates Steven Gerrard and Ashley Cole
