Leonard "Lenny" Glover[1] (born 31 January 1944)[2] was a flamboyant[3] left winger who played, amongst others,[4][5] for Leicester City.[6] Considered one of the greatest players to don a Leicester City shirt and once described as the "best uncapped winger in the world",[7] 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.[8] He has had a spell as joint manager of Harlow Town with Bobby Kellard, and since the 2006 World Cup a hard hitting blog.[9]
