Len Glover
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in 1944[1]Len Glover was a flamboyant[2] left winger who played, amongst others[3][4], for Leicester City during what many people believe to have been their golden era in the late sixties and early seventies[5]. In retirement Glover has maintained his links with the game through writing a hard hitting blog-spot[6]. An acerbic and quick witted Cockney, Glover 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]. He has had a spell as joint manager of Harlow Town with Bobby Kellard, and since the 2006 World Cup a hard hitting blog[8].
