Leonard Glover[1] (born 31 January 1944)[2] is a retired footballer who played as awinger forCharlton Athletic[3] andLeicester City.[4] Considered one of the greatest players to don a Leicester City shirt and once described as the "best uncapped winger in the world",[5] the acerbic and quick-wittedCockney is often referred to inFrank Worthington's seminal "One Hump or Two": for example, when locally born defenderAlan Woollett's dog died managerJimmy Bloomfield tried to get his players to show respectful sympathy towards the defender — a feat Glover was singularly unable to do.[6] While at Leicester he helped them win the1971 FA Charity Shield.[7] Later, he had a spell at Kettering Town,[8] and a spell as joint manager ofHarlow Town withBobby Kellard, and since the 2006World Cup a hard hitting blog.[9]
Glover was the captain of theTampa Bay Rowdies during the1977 NASL season. He served as the Rowdies'caretaker manager for one game in June 1977 afterEddie Firmani abruptly resigned, and beforeJohn Boyle was hired on to finish the season.[10]
