Neil Lennon (born June 25, 1971 in Lurgan, County Armagh) is a Northern 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.
