Work-rate for days too....
Good finisher, but felt he had a pretty tame shot on him.
People didn't chat about assists so much back then, but I wonder what his goal contribution numbers were like when he was at his best.... I suspect he'd have up there in terms of his position.
He would be involved in about 14 goals a season with us at his peak in all competitions.
Which to be honest, compared to modern day Spurs, isn't the best.

Lennons output seems to coincide with how good or bad Spurs were in a particular season really or how we played. He flourished in the two top four seasons Redknapp had with us. Especially 09/10, he was involved in about 15 goals in the equivalent to about 21 games due to his bad injury that year.
But during AVBs boring football - he was really poor productively and he played ALOT too.
