Man and Bhoy Set Records Straight
Neil Lennon is had a rough go for the last six years because he is a catholic and plays as captain for Celtic who is deeply associated with Irish Catholicism and is great conflict to Lennon’s religion.
In Lennon’s autobiography, Man and Bhoy, he set records straight because media has blown him out of proportions, though he admits he portrays himself as a tough man on and off the pitch. He contends: The public perception of Neil Lennon is not a fair one. I think people see me as some kind of hard man who goes out looking for an argument, but nothing could be further from the truth. I hardly ever got into trouble with referees on the pitch and anything that has happened away from football has not been caused by me.
The media up here in Glasgow have not helped my cause. They have created this image that I’m a thug who likes to throw my weight around, but that’s just irresponsible journalism in my opinion. People who know me will tell you that I have never been like that. I hope people read my book and see I have never tried to portray myself as a thug or a hard man. In fact, I’ve gone out of my way to do the opposite.
Neil is already 35 years old and believes he only has a maximum of two years left in his playing career, and as such, he wants to coach and follow Roy Keane’s footsteps. Neil said he already received UEFA B license and is looking forward to get his “A” license.
