Len Glover ex Leicester & Charlton reply

[rcsmg1]

Very pleased to get this one back as I had been trying to track Len down for some time and wasn't 100% sure of the address I had,which thankfully was alright.I got a nice note back from Len as well.

Lenny Glover was a flamboyant left winger for Charlton,Leicester and Tampa Bay Rowdies.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 and Alan was too upset to travel with the squad to Liverpool,manager Jimmy Bloomfield tried to get his players to show respectful sympathy towards the defender- a feat Glover was singularly unable to do.

In later years he turned into an Arthur Daley style buyer and seller. Was sent to prison for three and a half years in 2004 for laundering cannabis money. (Played for Leicester in the 1969 FA Cup final)

Great result Rob. Great cards as always. Well done. Have been trying to track him down for a while. Wrote to Leicester City but they said they had no contact address for him.
