Is everyone forgetting Neil Lennon?

Was scrolling this thread for the first time and thought exactly same. 

 

He was a top class footballer. And wasn't a kante role. He was a Cambiasso, except fit. His build gave myth to the fact he wasn't particularly fit or quick. 

 

Great engine. Read the game like a book. Shuttled about all match to be continually available to his colleagues to receive the ball under pressure. 

 

Muzz and Lennon. Basically our Lennon and McCartney!

I loved Kaamark as a kid, and while I could see an argument him being in a 'favourite XI' I'm surprised to see so many putting him in their 'best XIs'.

 

Played 65 games across 4 seasons, and while I know a lot of his absence was due to injuries the lack of game time alone puts him significantly behind Pereira or Simpson for me.

 

The only on-pitch thing I remember him doing was man-marking Juninho (which tbf was legendary). But I'm not sure he'd have even been a guaranteed starter if everyone in the O'Neill days was fit.

 

Good player no doubt, but I suspect he benefits from being memorable because he was an international player from an era when they felt much more exotic and exciting.

 

I'm not saying this to troll as I liked both players, but I'd probably put him in the Timmy Castagne bracket.
