"It means a hell of a lot to the club. It is a monumental achievement," said a calm Lennon (right) after the game.

"For the whole club to be at the big table in the New Year is a phenomenal effort. To get 10 points is a phenomenal effort."

Club owner Dermot Desmond paid tribute to Lennon's achievement and tipped him for great things.

"I feel that he has a bright future ahead of him. As I said some time ago, Neil is just learning about managing.

"He's very good, he's very deep, he is very considerate towards his players in every aspect. He's brought in a lot of new players."

The Beatles started a revolution back in the USSR

If ever a band has been well served by the literary world it's The Beatles. Practically every aspect of that revolutionary body of work has been dealt with in book form... or so one would have thought. From Hunter Davies' The Beatles, through Philip Norman's Shout, Bob Spitz's humongously detailed history and Ian McDonald's brilliant Revolution in the Head, which offered a musical and contextual analysis of every song they ever recorded, surely there's nothing left of interest to diehard fans of the Fabs. Well, think again.
