She Said she remembered a " loud ginger person" in The Lunch queue who offered her a leaflet and asked her for a date.
Speaking in 1988, He Said : " She took my eye immediately, and has been taking it ever since. "
" She's got all the qualities that make women superior in so many departments, of that there is No Doubt , " he added.
" I think probably [she has] a little gift as well, possibly something to do with coming from The Druids ' country, Anglesey. I don't know what it is, a bit of Second Sight I guess. "
Neil Kinnock was to become widely acknowledged as a great public speaker, But he admitted that as a student he made no contribution to the university debating society until " she turned up" and said she quite liked people debating.
" And I thought 'right, this is it, I can clinch The Deal '" He Said .
" So I made a speech, which apparently went down rather well, and from then on kept on doing it. "
Neil and Glenys became husband and wife in 1967.
Entering teaching after graduating, Glenys became a national UK figure when Neil won the Labour leadership in 1983.
She later said that Conservative-supporting newspapers had wrongly portrayed her as The Power behind The Throne , by suggesting she was more intelligent than her husband.
