Lenny Glover
Leonard Glover is a retired footballer who played as a winger for Charlton Athletic and Leicester [City F.C.|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. While at Leicester he helped them win the 1971 FA [Charity Shield]. 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.
Glover was the captain of the Tampa Bay Rowdies during the 1977 [North American Soccer League season|1977 NASL season]. He served as the Rowdies' caretaker manager for one game in June 1977 after Eddie Firmani abruptly resigned, and before John [Boyle (footballer, born 1946)|John Boyle] was hired on to finish the season.
