Hello, this is Graham. Welcome to a classic big interview. This time we go back to season 1617.

This is what I had to say about it back then.

Welcome to the big interview.

Live.

Yes, we recorded our first ever live big interview just before Christmas with Neil

Lennon at Greenock Town Hall. The occasion was a fundraising event organized by

friend of the podcast, Lala Landliver, Martin Comston, who kindly invited us along, as well as being

a terrific actor, former footballer, Ex-Dandy no less, and all-round top fella. Martin was raising funds for Argyllen, a terrific hospice based in Greenick.

It's a brilliant cause.

Now, Neil Lennon.

Oh man, this was fun.

As you're about to discover, Neil tells a story just as well as he used to retain possession.

You're going to hear Neil talking about Martin O'Neill dragging his list of city players to Yorkshire

Ripper murder scenes. Neil Lennon getting told off by his hero, Noel Gallagher, misbehaving before an oasis cake.

Man bites dog? Twice? Yes? You heard that right.

Noel telling off Neil. Mr. Lennon also speaks passionate about youth development and the overcoaching which he believes

is preventing the emergence of more free-thinking creative young footballers. Our guest also goes into huge detail

about his encounters with Barcelona as a player and a coach. This is Neil Lennon Live and Love is in the air. We're going to talk tonight to a man who took particular pleasure in tormenting my club throughout his reign as a Celtic manager.

Neil Lennon is bright, funny, interesting, multi-talented, and obviously hugely successful as a footballer and a manager.
