Alec Glover

Partick Thistle accepted a big fee from Bradford Park Avenue for their home grown right winger in 1948 and Alec made an instant impact in Division Two terrorising defences with his clever ball play.

Having witnessed his ability at first hand Luton Town manager Dally Duncan paid £8,000 for his services in September 1949 which was a lot of money at the time. Unfortunately, the Town were struggling at that point and Hatters supporters were rarely able to see Alec in full flow as defensive duties were required of him. He moved on to Blackburn in 1951 and then transferred to Barrow three years later.

After retiring from the game, Alec settled in the Barrow area and died in Ulverston in 2000.
