Reporter’s wife interrupts Lennon press conference
While taking a question on his team’s peformance, a ringing phone positioned near Lennon interrupted proceedings.
To a chorus of laughter from the assembled reporters, Lennon answered the call and attempted a brief conversation before the mystery caller hung up, after which Lennon remarked: “She’s not happy.”

A few seconds later, Mr Grant’s wife rang once more. Lennon then picked up the phone and said: “Sharon, Sharon, you gonna stop interrupting my press conference please? This is Neil Lennon here, OK?”
After Mr Grant’s wife cut short the call again, Lennon turned to a red-faced Mr Grant, saying: “You’re not going out tonight Michael.”
In the background, another journalist can be heard remarking: “Michael, what a beamer you’ve got”.
His wife, however, may not have found the exchange quite so funny.
