Levein (again non debatable unless your opening statement is "I'm mentally handicapped") DROP 3. Lennon I don’t remember ever watching Levein play but I was surprised to see he has never won any major honours in Scotland whilst Lennon has 11 and none in England whilst Lennon has 2. Seem to remember someone mentioning he had the chance to win the league on one occasion but literally shat it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember rightly Souness tried to buy him before Butcher but Hearts wouldn’t sell ?? If it hadn’t been for 3 very bad injuries I think he would have had an amazing career. Strong defender, calm in possession, good passer, good leader even at a young age. A lot of the younger posters won’t have seen him play but that doesn’t mean he’s not good. I would have him 2nd on the list. Oh and Rice was a class above Holt as a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 If you don't think Lennon is one of the best SPL players ever you’re probably the kind of moron who needed to be told Makelele and Kante were key players in title winning sides. Of course John Kennedy is clearly better because he might have had a better career if not for injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course John Kennedy is clearly better because he might have had a better career if not for injuries.I fooking hated Lennon as a player but he allowed the attacking players Celtic had at the time do their thing with no fear as they knew he was there to lock the gate, also allowed the Centre Halves to do a Puyol knowing that he had their position covered. Scott Brown really is a pale, pale imitation of the footballer Neil Lennon was & his genuine ability tends to be forgotten about far too much for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That entire era could be basically summed up as “If Lennon is ahead of the ball, we’re in trouble”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I've actually found a national medal that Levein did win- he won the Reserve League Cup with Hearts when they beat Dundee United. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
