Glen Crowe (born 25 December 1977) is an Irish professional football forward who currently plays for Malahide United in the Leinster Senior League. He was a prolific goalscorer in the League of Ireland Premier Division and has represented the Republic of Ireland national football team on two occasions.
Crowe previously played for Wolves, Bohemians, Shelbourne and Sporting Fingal.
Glen Crowe's grandad's cousin is Liam Crowe, who played football for the Irish Army, including a match against the Republic of Ireland national football team on 23 April 1944. Liam Crowe also played for Shamrock Rovers and won the FAI Cup in 1944. He also played for Shelbourne, St Patrick's Athletic, Dundalk and St James's Gate.
Crowe began his career with local Irish side St Mochta's, joining the youth setup at the age of 7. Stella Maris showed an interest in Crowe for several years and he eventually signed for the club and played in the Dublin & District Schoolboy League. At the age of 17, Crowe spent time on trial with Division One side Wolverhampton Wanderers, attending three separate trials with the club before being offered a one-year YTS contract. He spent the majority of his first season at Molineux in the youth team but was handed his professional debut on 30 April 1996 as a substitute during a 3–0 defeat to Reading. In the following match, the final game of the 1995–96 season, Crowe started his first match for Wolves against Charlton Athletic in May 1996 and scored his side's only goal during a 1–1 draw. He had loan spells at Cardiff City, Exeter City and Plymouth Argyle.
