Who is Neville Glover?

Neville Glover is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1970s and 80s. A New South Wales interstate and Australian international representative winger, he played his club football in the NSWRL Premiership with the Parramatta Eels and Penrith Panthers.

A Seven Hills junior, Glover made his debut for Parramatta in 1975. The following year Parramatta reached the grand final which was played against Manly-Warringah. With ten minutes of the match remaining and 15 metres out from a wide-open try line, Glover dropped the pass which could have given the Eels the match-winning try.

In 1978 Glover made his Australian test debut in Brisbane against a touring New Zealand side in the second of a three-test series. He scored the first of his two tries of the match after being on the field for only two minutes.

Glover also represented New South Wales in 1979 against Great Britain.

Following a grand final loss in reserve grade, Glover left Parramatta. He played one more season with Penrith in 1983.

In 2001 Glover was named in the Eels' 'team of the century'.

After playing Glover went into coaching and later became a police officer.
