Neil Lennon - Lessons in leading through playing and managing at the top level

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.
