My Take
What strikes me about Neil Lennon is durability of character. Coming out of Lurgan in County Armagh and building over 200 appearances for Celtic before being named captain in 2005 tells me this was a player teammates trusted, not just a technician. He thrived in Glasgow's pressure-cooker atmosphere, then moved naturally into management. I read him as a fighter shaped by Gaelic football roots and a midfielder's selfless graft. There is something I quietly admire in people who stay in the game's hottest arenas for decades and keep showing up. Lennon feels like one of those steady, combative football men I instinctively respect.
