Just seen Lawwell and Lennon over at Ibrox laying a wreath for Fernando.
Pretty sure Fernando gave Alan Thomson a few late nights.Lennon seems genuinely cut up about Fernando's passing. I'm sure a lot of our and their players stayed quite near to each other around the early 2000's.

And vice versa, ask the postman.Pretty sure Fernando gave Alan Thomson a few late nights.
A nice touch. As said above, some things are bigger than a football rivalry. Lennon was very respectful in his comments too.
He did sound absolutely gutted on Wednesday night in fairness.Lennon seems genuinely cut up about Fernando's passing. I'm sure a lot of our and their players stayed quite near to each other around the early 2000's.
He did and him and Thomson played tennis against each other regularlyI think Ronald de Boer stayed directly over the road from Thomson.
Indeed. Fernando I'm sure lived near Alan thompson.Lennon seems genuinely cut up about Fernando's passing. I'm sure a lot of our and their players stayed quite near to each other around the early 2000's.
Very well said Sir.I found it difficult to read the other thread on Lennon when people descended into the usual rivalry and insults, but these moments really aren’t the time for that. Forget about what we all know about Lennon for a day, the fact is his comments were very respectful and to my ear, sounded very heart felt.
But remember he competed against Fernando directly, when you’re a relatively young man and you see that happen to another man you were a up and close to on a professional level, that’s surely got to affect you, and it certainly sounded like it affected Lennon.
People need to leave all the other shite at the door for a day, as someone else said, they didn’t have to do this but they did it, and it’s a nice mark of respect for a man who deserved it. These are instances where both clubs generally always do the right thing.

I might be chatting shit or just fabricating this in my mind right now but a small part of me says they used to drink together?

You can see its upset Lennon, great to see all coming together for Fernando, shows the stature of the man
