Glover, Len As a young boy growing up and watching Charlton there were a few players that gave us joy ! Billy bonds and Len Glover ! To see Len fly down the wing at the valley and bamboozle opponents time after time you knew that other clubs would come looking ! Should have played for England !

Glover, Len I was at Old Trafford when he scored against us. He was the best player on the pitch. I went to many Leicester games after that just to see him. Quality player!

Glover, Len I was given the nick name Lenny at school from around 7 years old. Lenny Glover was and always will be my football hero. Would love to just say hi and shake his hand.

Glover, Len I too believe Lenny should have been capped for England, especially during his time at Leicester.
I used to watch regularly but best was complementary tickets from my school for the old double-decker stand. The power and speed of his bursts up the wing were devastating, crossing was superb and would chip in with a few goals and the odd worldie. Great player from that era.

Glover, Len When I was a young noy, Lenny would visit my nan and grandad in Tulse Hill and we would all kick a ball around behind the flats where they lived. He was related to my grandparents and was kind enough to get me a players worn shirt when I was 10. (Keith Weller's).

Glover, Len My family and I met Len on a beach in Ingoldmells, near Skegness, when on holiday in what must have been the early 1970s (if not late 1960s). My sister, brother and I were fascinated by the many crabs Len had caught and put into buckets. We saw him on the same beach on several days during the holiday and got talking to him. He was very friendly with us and actually surprised my brother and I by buying us a Leicester City cap which he signed for us. We've often mentioned him in the years since.

Glover, Len Anyone know where I can buy the book?


Glover, Len The best winger to ever play for Charlton.


Glover, Len I used to go to Filbert Street as a young lad - My dad who was born in Leicester and used to drive us from Nottingham for every Home match. We would sit in the double decker stand. We would have a Bovril and share a Mars bar and marvel at the dazzling display Lenny always put on. I will always remember the goal scored by Lenny, on the volley, overhead kick...Magic!!


Glover, Len Len Glover has a brother Alan. My dad Sid Glover worked with Alan Glover. Window cleaners with New Century. We maybe related down the line to Len Glover but it's Cool as it is.


Glover, Len The best left winger never to have played for England and he was my school boy hero and will never forget the day I met him at Filbert St. I have been trying to get a copy of his book (From Left wing to D wing) so if any one could help thank you.
