- Todays famous grave I visit legendary character actor Brian Glover. He was in the classic Kes, American Werewolf in London, Alien 3 and so much more.
Described by The New York Times as a "robust character actor" who played "gruff but likable roles", he had a "string of roles playing tough guys and criminals". He once said, "You play to your strengths in this game, and my strength is as a bald-headed, rough-looking Yorkshireman". Glover was also known as the voice of the Tetley tea commercials. The Independent described him upon his death as "one of Britain's best-loved actors".

What a career! He appeared in the episode of Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? called "No Hiding Place". Bob and Terry had a bet with him that they would avoid hearing the score of an England football match played that day. A former work colleague of mine was from Barnsley and Brian Glover was his English teacher; he was nothing like the character he played in Kes.
Brian was incredible in Kes . . . a legendary performance.
I still feel sad when I see graves of someone as famous as Brian glover looking so uncared for,not even flowers,he was brilliant in porridge,and appeared in a lot of tv programs,Great entertainer,RIP Brian,thank you Paul total respect xxxx❤️😊
Will always remember him from An American Werewolf in London. Such a powerful voice. RIP Brian x

Loved him met him in Mumbles my home just outside Swansea where I live. He was appearing in the Grand Theatre Swansea. A real gentleman and people person. He had really broad shoulders. A gifted man ❤️
The bit in Kes with the football is such a brilliant piece on film as Brian just makes it such a believable teacher student relationship the kids must have loved filming that scene.
Ahhhhh Brian Glover was a brilliant versatile actor. Kes. American Werewolf in London. Alien 3, Porridge, Brannigan, The Sweeny, Minder and many more. Rest in peace sir and thank you for all the joy you gave me on TV when I was a kid! 🙏 And thank you Paul, I'm sorry it's late, I've only just watched this one! 👍
What a great actor. I've never forgotten a monologue that he did for Winter for Hymns of Praise in the 80s. It was unmissable, but never been able to find it - keep on looking!
Loved Brian in Gas with the late Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, trying to tap into Brian's gas meter to nick gas and the mayhem that ensued.
His most memorable roles for me were in Kes, Porridge and Bottom. I must admit I had no idea his career was so varied; I had heard he was a wrestler, but all those other roles and the writing I had no idea. All respect to Brian.
Loved him as the Sports teacher who thought he was Bobby Charlton Mr Casper in the classic movie Kes.
I remember ages ago suggesting the where abouts of Brian Glover, strangely enough I got my wish, I can't believe there are no flowers 😢 at his graveside knowing how famous he was. Gone but never forgotten, R I P Brian 🙏❤️🇬🇧❤️🙏 Nov twenty two
I loved Brian in the film Kes , when he played the role of a teacher , when he took his class out to play football he was the Ref and Bobby Charlton at the same time [ what a legend ] . Its a great part of the film and always takes me back yo my youth.
He was hilarious as the PE Teacher in Kes.
He was also in an episode of last Of The Summer Wine- in Keeping Britain tidy. Great actor.
Absolutely loved him ast PE teacher in Kes ( early shower for you lad ).. His character epitomised our PE teachers of the 60s - 70s ,basically deluded bullies. . RIP Mr Glover what a star 🌟
Best version of a P. E. teacher ever to be done in Kes. 👊👍😁
It's great to see you keeping these great actors and stars memories alive.
Brian was in a episode of Minder as "Yorkie" it was the episode "The Beer Hunter 1980" . He lost his trousers or Kegs in this episode and was so funny to watch. Once someone left a spare pair of trouser by his grave.
