Listen on

Episode notes

I caught up with former Manchester City, Crewe Alexandra, Leicester and Celtic player Neil Lennon for this interview.

Neil came to England when he was a fresh-faced 16 year old lad and forged a career in football that's taken him to the English Premier League, captaining Celtic against European giants and managing in Scotland, England and Cyprus.

In this conversation Neil talks about:

Man City as a youth
Early influences on his career
Building resilience through setbacks
Martin O'Neill's impact on him
Glory days at Leicester City
Man management in the game
Winning mentalities
Pantomime villan
Moving to Celtic
Captaining and management
Dealing with disappointment
Culture differences in Cyprus

This was a great episode to record. A big thank you to Neil for coming to meet me and thanks to the Gleneagles Townhouse for having us.
