Allan Glover

West Bromwich Albion Glover signed for First Division club West Bromwich Albion in June 1969 for a fee £70,000, with Albion winger Clive Clark transferring the other way to Loftus Road as a makeweight. Glover's progression at The Hawthorns was slow and he failed to break through into the team until 1973–74, when he made 42 appearances and scored five goals. He made 41 appearances and scored two goals during the 1974–75 season, before falling out of favour with new manager Johnny Giles. Glover had one of the shortest careers on record at Roots Hall, due to being carried off injured after 30 seconds on his debut on New Year's Day 1976. Glover signed for Fourth Division club Brentford on loan in October 1976. Glover failed to win a regular place in the first team at Brisbane Road and he made 37 league appearances and scored five goals during an 18-month stay.

Return to Brentford Now playing in the Third Division, Brentford manager Bill Dodgin finally signed Glover on a permanent contract in November 1978.

Staines Town After his release from Brentford, Glover dropped into non-League football and joined hometown Isthmian League Premier Division club Staines Town. 1 4 2 1970–71 0 41 2 1975–76 3 0 0 0 1 0
