Leonard "Lenny" Glover (born 31 January 1944) was a flamboyant left winger who played for Charlton Athletic and Leicester City. Considered one of the greatest players to don a Leicester City shirt and once described as the "best uncapped winger in the world", 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. Later, he had a spell at Kettering Town, and a spell as joint manager of Harlow Town with Bobby Kellard, and since the 2006 World Cup a hard hitting blog.
