Neil Lennon (born June 25, 1971 in Lurgan, County Armagh) is an Irish professional footballer, who currently plays for Celtic F.C. in the Scottish Premier League. He plays midfield and is team captain.
After coming up as a trainee at Manchester City in 1989, Lennon has played for Crewe and Leicester City, before moving to the club he supported as a boy, Celtic, in 2000. For Northern Ireland, Lennon has been capped 40 times, scoring two goals. He captained the squad a few times.
Lennon, who is a Catholic, decided to retire from international football in August 2002 upon receiving a sectarian death threat before a Northern Ireland match versus Cyprus. The threats were precipitated by his move to Celtic, a traditionally Catholic club. The threat was made by Loyalist Volunteer Force, although the organisation later disputed this.
