    I work as mental health practitioner and I have huge respect for Aaron talking so bravely and articulately about his experiences. People like yourself are huge role models and actively challenge the stigma round mental health and the point that anyone in society can be affected. Your humility and candour are inspiring.

    Huge Respect for Aaron to talk about his challenges. When you strip it back we may not support the teams he plays for, but ultimately he is human like the rest of us and goes through life's challenges like we all do. You don't appreciate life until your hear stories like this one. Wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

    Lennon is the one England winger in the golden generation who didn't have Space Jam syndrome.
    In both 2006 and 2010, he took his man on, went down the outside and put in dangerous balls.
    People always compared Lennon and Walcott, but there was never any comparison. Lennon was clear as a winger. Frightening pace, acceleration, and good feet in tight spaces to go with it.
