Product Description
Captain and midfield enforcer for Northern Ireland, Neil Lennon is one of the most controversial figures in British soccer. His story, fully updated for the Celtic 2006–2007 season is an extraordinary tale of religious bigotry, life-threatening career injury, and tumultuous football success at club level. The first Northern Irish Roman Catholic to play for Celtic and to be chosen to captain his country, Lennon was sensationally forced to quit the captaincy even before he took the field following death threats by Loyalist paramilitaries. As he approaches the twilight of his playing career, Lennon has decided the time is right to reveal all about his life on the field—including his horrific spinal injury and his less than happy apprenticeships at Motherwell and Manchester City—as well as his hitherto closely guarded private life, including his battle with depression.

Good, but filled with inconsistencies May 28, 2008
Neil comes across as being very honest in this book. It is a good read. However, he states that Willie Thorns was a former world snooker champion. This is incorrect as Willie Thorne never was. He mentions that Martin O'Neil won 64 caps playing for Northern Ireland where, approx. 15 pages later, Martin O'Neil goes onto explain to another player in front of Neil Lennon what he won as a player, including winning 62 caps playing for Northern Ireland. When I read inconsistencies like this, the credibility of the book drops & starts to disappoint me. If you don't mind such inconsistencies, then read the book, as you will enjoy it.
