The current manager of Scottish Championship outfit Hibernian, Neil Lennon was one of the first names on the team-sheet under former manager Martin O’Neill.

Under the Northern Irishman, the midfielder made over 200 appearances for the Foxes and scored nine goals.

The Manchester City trainee was a key-cog as the Foxes took home two League Cups in three seasons and secured three consecutive top-ten finishes in the Premier League.

As a matter of fact, the ex-Celtic boss played in the East-Midlanders runs in the UEFA Cup back in 1997 and 2000.

Lennon was widely known for his dogged style of play and his unwavering effort impressed supporters for four seasons following his arrival from Crewe Alexandra.

However, he soon followed former manager O’Neill to Scotland and departed for Celtic Park for a reported £5.75m in 2000.

Since then, Lennon has managed the Hoops and won silverware aplenty in Scotland.
