Glenn Michael Mulcaire (born 8 September 1970) is an English private investigator and former non-league footballer. He was closely involved in the News International phone hacking scandal, and was imprisoned for six months in 2007 for his role in phone hacking and given a six-month suspended sentence at the hacking trial of 2013–14.
Mulcaire is a former non-league footballer who played in the lower tiers of the English football league system, including a spell at the then newly formed AFC Wimbledon, when he was also known as "Trigger". He previously played for Fulham youth team, Dorking, Egham Town and Harrow Borough.
Mulcaire became the first man to score a goal for AFC Wimbledon when playing against Bromley in July 2002.
Mulcaire played in several pre-season friendlies and for the newly formed AFC Wimbledon scoring twice (in their third and fourth games). Once the 2002/2003 season started he only started once and appeared as a substitute six times. His last match was as a sub in a 12 October 2002 Premier Challenge Cup game. He later played for and managed Netherne Village, which was regarded as the club's reserve team for the 2002/2003 season. He left in August 2003 after sustaining an injury.
He applied for a position with a branch of the Special Forces, hoping to progress to Defence Intelligence, but was rejected as being too young. He then began work tracking individuals for private commercial intelligence assessment. After doing some work for News of the World, he was urged to establish his own consultancy and work exclusively for the paper.
In January 2007, Mulcaire was found guilty of illegally intercepting phone messages from Clarence House and imprisoned for six months after pleading guilty; his co-conspirator News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman was sentenced to four months. Renewed controversy over the phone hacking scandal led to the closure of the News of the World in July 2011. He publicly apologised to those affected by his activities.
