Allan Richard Glover (born 21 October 1950) is an English retired professional football inside forward and winger best remembered for his eight years in the Football League with West Bromwich Albion. He also played for Orient, Brentford, Queens Park Rangers and Southend United.
Glover began his career at Queens Park Rangers, making six appearances during a disastrous 1968–69 season which saw Rangers relegated from Division One. He departed Rangers in June 1969.
Glover signed for Division One side West Bromwich Albion in June 1969 for a £70,000, with Baggies winger Clive Clark transferred the other way to Loftus Road as a makeweight. Glover's progression at The Hawthorns was slow, failing to register double-digit appearances in a season until 1973–74, when he broke into the team, making 42 appearances and scoring five goals. He registered 41 appearances and two goals in the 1974–75 season, before falling out of favour with new manager Johnny Giles. Glover departed West Brom in March 1977, having made 107 appearances and scored 10 goals for the club.
Out of favour at West Bromwich Albion, Glover joined Division Three side Southend United on loan midway through the 1975–76 season. Glover had one of the shortest careers on record at Roots Hall, being carried off injured after 30 seconds on his debut on New Year's Day 1976.
