Neville Kenneth Glover OAM [2] (born 22 July 1955) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s and 1980s. A New South Wales interstate and Australia international representative wing, 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. [3] 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 ball over the line after Parramatta started a sweeping move from one side of the field to the other.
Speaking in 2008 about the game, Glover said "Mate I'm at a prosecutors conference today and the dropped ball thing has already been mentioned twice, I wouldn't say it gets brought up daily but certainly once a week it gets a mention". [4] Glover dropped the pass which could have given the Eels the match-winning try. [5] [6]
In 1978, Glover made his Australian test debut in Brisbane against a touring New Zealand side in the second of a three-test series. [7] He scored the first of his two tries of the match after being on the field for only two minutes. [8] He is listed on the Australian Players Register as Kangaroo No. 511. [9] Glover also represented New South Wales in 1979 against Great Britain. [10]
Following a grand final loss in reserve grade, Glover left Parramatta. He played one more season with Penrith in 1983.
In 2002, a team of the greatest Parramatta players, known as the Parramatta Legends, were selected based on a public vote of fans. Glover was selected on the wing. [11]
After playing, Glover went into coaching and later became a police officer. Glover became the senior sergeant in charge of all Hunter Region police prosecutors. [12]
