Collison claims the Australia international defender is "someone to look
up to" in the way he conducts himself both on and off the field.
The youngster, who captains the reserves again next season, said: "I learnt a lot off Lucas Neill, watching the
way he captains the first team."
"I think he did a really good job this season. I am just hoping to take a bit of that into what I do with
the reserve team."
"On and off the pitch, he sets a good example. He does a lot of work that not many people get to see. He organises
a lot of team-building things, has a lot of meetings and makes sure everyone knows what is going on. It is good to have a
captain like that. He is someone to look up to."
