Leonard "Lenny" Glover[1] (born 31 January 1944)[2] was a flamboyant[3] left winger who played for Charlton Athletic [4] and Leicester City.[5] Considered one of the greatest players to don a Leicester City shirt and once described as the "best uncapped winger in the world",[6] the acerbic and quick witted Cockney is often referred to in Frank Worthington’s seminal "One Hump or Two":for example,when locally born defender Alan Woollett’s dog died manager Jimmy Bloomfield tried to get his players to show respectful sympathy towards the defender- a feat Glover was singularly unable to do.[7] Later, he had a spell at Kettering Town,[8] and a spell as joint manager of Harlow Town with Bobby Kellard, and since the 2006 World Cup a hard hitting blog.[9]
